Latest Weather and Haze Situation

Scattered showers were observed over most parts of the ASEAN region, except over the southern parts of Sumatra, the western parts of Borneo and the northwestern parts of the Mekong sub-region where it was relatively drier. Few to isolated hotspots were detected in Sumatra, Kalimantan and the Mekong sub- region. No significant smoke plumes were observed from recent satellite imagery, however due to extensive cloud cover, the full extent of the hotspot and smoke haze situation in the region could not be determined.
