Review of Land Fires and Smoke Haze Situation for First Fortnight of July 2019
1.1 Under prevailing rainy conditions, no significant hotspot activity was observed in the northern ASEAN region.

Figure 1: Himawari-8 satellite image on 15 July 2019 shows localised smoke plumes from hotspots detected in West Kalimantan.
