Samarahan moves out of hazardous category as Sarawak haze eases slightly

Sarawak's Samarahan district has moved out of the Hazardous air quality category as the haze situation eases slightly, according to the latest Air Pollutant Index (API) readings. The API for Samarahan fell from 302 at 8am to 292 at 10am, placing it in the Very Unhealthy category. This improvement is part of a broader trend across Sarawak, with most monitoring stations recording lower API readings by 10am compared to 8am.

While the improvement is notable, five stations in the state, including Lubok Antu, Lundu, Kanowit, Kuching, and IPD Serian, remain in the Hazardous category, urging the public to continue taking precautions such as limiting outdoor activities and using protective masks when necessary.
