Latest Weather and Haze Situation
Scattered showers were observed over most parts of the ASEAN region today except for drier conditions observed over the Java, the Lesser Sunda Islands and the southern parts of Kalimantan. A few hotspots were detected in the southern parts of Viet Nam and Sumatra, the eastern parts of Java and Kalimantan and also in parts of Sulawesi. Localised smoke plumes were observed in the eastern parts of Java. A slight localised smoke plumes was also observed in the northeastern parts of Kalimantan.
Weather and Haze Outlook
In the coming days, isolated to scattered showers are forecast to continue over most parts of the ASEAN region except for drier conditions forecast over parts of Java and the Lesser Sunda Islands. Isolated hotspots and smoke plumes can emerge in areas facing drier conditions. The prevailing winds over the northern ASEAN region are forecast to blow from the south to southwest. The prevailing winds over the southern ASEAN region are forecast to blow mainly from the southeast or south, except for the northern parts of Borneo and Sumatra as well as over Peninsular Malaysia where winds are expected to blow from the southwest.
- All maps are to be used solely for displaying meteorological/geophysical information, and not for any other purpose. All maps are not to scale and for illustrative purpose only.
- The hotspots depicted on the map are derived from the NOAA satellite and they represent locations with possible fires. Hotspots may go undetected due to cloudy conditions or incomplete satellite pass.
- At Alert Level 0 and Alert Level 1, the regional haze situation is updated once a day at 0900 UTC. The regional haze situation is updated more frequently at 0300 UTC and 0900 UTC upon activation of Alert Level 2 or Alert Level 3. Updates at 0300 UTC display hotspot information from night-time passes of the NOAA-20 satellite. Fewer hotspots were typically detected at night as fire activities usually peak during the day.
- Reprocessed satellite data will be availed at a later timing. The hotspot information derived from satellite data reprocessed may differ slightly from that received near real-time but reprocessing is necessary for better quality data.
- The 2500 ft winds (depicted by arrows) are model analysis winds.
