Latest Weather and Haze Situation

Showers prevailed over most of the ASEAN region today, apart from parts of Sumatra and the Lesser Sunda Islands where it was relatively drier.

The full extent of the hotspot and smoke haze situation over the ASEAN region could not be determined due to cloud cover.
