After many days of enjoying clear skies and clean air, the haze is finally here. There were strong winds and some rain early this morning. When I spoke to Wuan around 11am just now, it was already getting hazy. Visibility was still good. I could still see the hills in the distance which is about 10km or more from here.
At around 2.30pm, as Minishorts and I were chatting, the air was beginning to smell foul. I looked out and visibility has been reduced to 5km or less. As I am typing this visibility is getting poorer and poorer. There is a gentle breeze but it smells.

Looks like haze is shifting to penang!! But shouldn’t be as bad as in kl/selangor… Too bad the wind is shifting the haze over there, but I’m grateful the situation here in kl/selangor looks more promising than the previous days. It’s really disappointing to wake up everyday just to find the condition has worsen, as if it wasn’t bad enough already. =(
