Latest Weather And Haze Situation
Showers were observed over many parts of the ASEAN region today, except over Java, Sulawesi, and many parts of the Mekong sub-region where it was drier. Few to isolated hotspots were mostly detected in southern Sumatra, parts of Kalimantan and Sulawesi, and the eastern parts of Viet Nam. Moderate to dense smoke plumes were observed in the southeastern parts of Sulawesi, and the southern parts of Kalimantan and Papua, while slight localised smoke plumes were observed to emanate from a few hotspots detected in Viet Nam. The full extent of the hotspot and smoke haze situation in the region could not be fully determined due to extensive cloud cover.
