It looks like our hazy days this year are just beginning. As much as 120 hot spots have been detected in Sumatra, says the National Environment Agency (NEA), with smoke plumes spotted mainly in the southern half of the island.
Currently the 24-hour Pollutant Standards Index (PSI) stands between 70 to 84 — the high-end of the moderate range which may very well enter the unhealthy range (101-200) should prevailing winds continue to blow from the southwest.
