No significant hotspot activities are expected in the northern ASEAN region due to the rainy weather. In the southern ASEAN region, brief periods of drier weather could lead to increased hotspot activities, particularly in southern Sumatra and some parts of Kalimantan, and increase the risk of transboundary haze occurrence in the region.

Hotspot activities in the northern ASEAN region are expected to remain subdued due to the prevailing wet weather conditions. In the southern ASEAN region, with dry conditions forecast to persist for the rest of the month, there is an increased risk of hotspot activities in the region, in particular in southern Sumatra, western and central Kalimantan. Further escalation of hotspot activities could lead to the occurrence of transboundary smoke haze.

The wet weather conditions expected in the northern ASEAN region during the first two weeks of July 2018 would help to subdue hotspot activities in the Mekong sub-region. However, with the dry weather conditions expected for most parts of the southern ASEAN region in the second week of July 2018, there is an increased risk of hotspot activities particularly in the fire-prone provinces of Sumatra and Kalimantan, which could lead to the occurrence of transboundary smoke haze.
