Five areas in Sarawak are currently experiencing unhealthy Air Pollutant Index (API) levels due to transboundary haze, according to data from the Air Pollutant Index Management System (APIMS). These areas include Kuching, Samarahan, Serian, Bintulu, and Samalaju, with API readings of 153, 156, 170, 156, and 151 respectively. This situation follows a previous report from the previous day where Sarawak Deputy Premier Datuk Amar Douglas Uggah Embas had warned that transboundary haze was expected to affect 19 areas in Sarawak over the next few days, with smoke originating from hotspots in neighboring regions being transported into the state by current wind patterns.
