Latest Weather and Haze Situation

Under the influence of the rainbands associated with the tropical depression to the northeast of the Philippines, scattered showers fell over parts of the northern
ASEAN region. In the southern ASEAN region, dry weather continued to prevail except for isolated showers in Peninsular Malaysia. Moderate to dense smoke haze
continued to emanate from persistent hotspots in the central and southern provinces of Riau, Jambi, and South Sumatra of Sumatra. In Jambi, persistent clusters of
hotspots have been emitting significant amount of smoke haze since yesterday. Some of the smoke haze from Sumatra has been blown by the prevailing winds to
affect Singapore and parts of Peninsular Malaysia. In Kalimantan, widespread smoke haze from persistent hotspot clusters continued to be observed in South,
Central and West Kalimantan. Some of the smoke haze has been transported to the nearby sea areas and western Sarawak. Reduced visibility due to haze was
also reported in parts of Sabah and Brunei Darussalam. Extensive smoke haze was observed over the South China Sea area due to haze blown there from Sumatra
