Hazy...Hazier...

Hmm, still hazy today. The percentage of areas with unhealthy air quality had risen to 14% at 7am today (16 June 2012) from 8% at 5pm yesterday. And with no rain forecast until next week, coupled with weak winds that is not helping the dispersion of the haze, it appears that we will have to be content with smoky, acrid smelling air and lowered visibility in the city.

The haze in KL is not getting any better. In fact it might be getting worst - compare this picture with a picture in yesterday's post.

The Air Pollutant Index data from the Department of Environment Malaysia for 11am shows that the percentage of area with unhealthy air quality is at 16%, an increase from 2% from the 7am data.So I guess it is getting hazier when compared to yesterday. Hopefully this patch of haze will get dispersed when it rains.
