Issued 14 September 2019
During this outlook period, hotspot activities in the Mekong sub-region are expected to remain generally subdued. In the southern ASEAN region, there have been occurrences of transboundary haze as a result of an escalation of hotspot activities in Sumatra and Kalimantan. With drier-than-usual and warmer conditions forecast for the coming fortnight, hotspot activities in Sumatra and Kalimantan can be expected to persist. Depending on the prevailing winds and the extent of the smoke haze there, further occurrences of transboundary haze can be expected.

Issued 12 July 2019
The northern ASEAN region is currently in its traditional rainy season which will prevail for the next few months. With wet conditions predicted for the northern ASEAN region in the second fortnight of July 2019, hotspot activities there are expected to be generally subdued. In the southern ASEAN region, drier-than-usual conditions are expected during the outlook period. This could contribute to an increase in hotspot activities in the fire-prone provinces of Sumatra and Kalimantan, and increase the risk of occurrence of transboundary haze in the region.
