Latest Weather and Haze Situation
Wet weather and cloudy conditions prevailed over most parts of the ASEAN region today except for drier conditions observed over the northern and western parts of the Mekong sub-region. A few hotspots were detected in Myanmar. No significant smoke plumes were observed from satellite imagery.
Weather and Haze Outlook
Over the next few days, showers are forecast to continue over the southern ASEAN region, the Philippines as well as the eastern parts of the Mekong sub-region. Drier conditions are expected to prevail over the northern, central and western parts of the Mekong sub-region. In areas facing drier conditions, hotspots and localised smoke plumes may emerge. The prevailing winds in the northern ASEAN region are forecast to blow mainly from the northeast. The prevailing winds in the southern ASEAN region are forecast to blow mainly from the west to the northwest.
- 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.
