Samarahan moves out of hazardous category as Sarawak haze eases slightly

Samarahan has been removed from the Hazardous air quality category following a slight decrease in its Air Pollutant Index (API) reading, according to the Malay Mail. The API fell from 302 at 8am to 292 at 10am, placing Samarahan 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 a number of stations remain in the Hazardous category, the gradual improvement signifies a positive development in addressing the haze issue in the region.
