Those lazy, hazy days of Summer
 

Is it me or is the haze worse this year compared to previous years? Just seems to be going on and on.

It hasn't been noticeable in Johor (only for a few days about 5/6 weeks ago). Last year's would take some beating!

Same inMelaka - about a week or 2 before the start of Ramadan, and only for about a week.

Just up North then :( It's really not nice. I have a friend in Ipoh and she says it's bad there as well. She posted some pics on Facebook and it looks much the same as Penang haze-wise.

Fresh air at last today. Let's hope that's the end of the hot and hazy weather.

Re: Those lazy, hazy days of Summer
 

Yes wasn't it a glorious day today. Let's hope we get a clear run now until the September big rains :fingerscrossed:

Still lovely weather in Penang. Those on holiday are having some luck. Quite a few showers to freshen it up but some nice sunshine in between and not too humid.

Those hazy days are here again. Oh joys (not) :(

Article in the Star Online says that the haze is "moderate" currently with a reading of 62 at 11am this morning.

API (Air Pollutant Index) scale is:
0 to 50: Good
51 to 100: Moderate
101 to 200: Unhealthy
201 to 300: Very unhealthy
301 and above: Hazardous

Here's the Star's article:

Thanks - good site :thumbup:

What do you do if the air quality is not too good. We get that here in winter with all the log burners. The air quality can be not too good if the early morning or early evening is still . Mr BEVS is OK but it catches me .

Get ill, pray for rain!

Not sure where the haze is coming from, normally it is burning in Sumatra after the palm oil harvest but I haven't seen that mentioned as the cause this time.

Even with doors and windows closed it gets in, I say this because my place was closed up for 2 months and yet there was a fine coating of black dust everywhere.

Re: Those lazy, hazy days of Summer
 

I'm fed up with it. When's it going to rain?

According to SteveMY's link, we are currently 83.... higher end of Moderate. Think I shall fly away somewhere next year :sneaky:

Re: Those lazy, hazy days of Summer
 

Good idea Beebie!

Re: Those lazy, hazy days of Summer
 

Singapore seems to be getting the haze worse than us, according to the link.

Anyways, it is September the rainiest month of the year :sneaky: so the air should be clearing soon with the monsoon rains.
