Smoke Haze from Hotspots in Sumatra and Kalimantan

[Stephen]

The Asean Specialised Meteorological Centre (ASMC) has warned that haze will continue to affect western parts of Peninsular Malaysia, Sarawak and Singapore, as hotspots are expected to persist in Sumatra and Kalimantan, Indonesia.

In Kalimantan, moderate to dense smoke haze continued to emanate from persistent hotspot clusters in South, Central and West Kalimantan. Some of the haze has been transported to western Sarawak and the adjacent South China Sea area. For the next few days, generally dry conditions are forecast to prevail over the southern ASEAN region, hotspot activities are expected to persist may worsen. Transboundary haze is likely to continue to affect parts of the southern ASEAN region, including Peninsular Malaysia, Singapore and Sarawak.

Prepare yourself if you are in the affected regions.
