Deal:🌫️ Lundu's Air Quality Reaches Unhealthy Level

🌫️ Lundu's Air Quality Reaches Unhealthy Level – Other Areas Also Rising 🌡️

As of 8am today, Lundu’s Air Pollutant Index (API) hit 125, officially placing it in the unhealthy range.

📈 Meanwhile, several other areas in Sarawak are inching closer to that level:

Kuching: 94
Sri Aman: 91
Mukah: 90

🔍 According to the Natural Resources and Environment Board (NREB), these numbers are still considered moderate (API 51–100), but the rising trend is worrying.

🔥 The Asean Specialised Meteorological Centre (ASMC) reported a growing number of hotspots from open burning, especially along the Sarawak–Kalimantan Barat border near Lundu, which may be contributing to the haze.

🌡️ Hotspot clusters have also been detected in:

Kuching
Samarahan
Sri Aman
Betong
South of Sibu
Near Kapit

With smaller clusters in Mukah and northeast Bintulu

☀️ Dry weather continues to affect the southern ASEAN region, increasing the risk of haze.
