KUALA LUMPUR: The current haze-like situation in the city is due to the presence of water vapour in the atmosphere.
Department of Environment Air Division senior principal assistant director Noraziah Jaafar said the country is currently experiencing a monsoon transition, which is expected to continue until early May.
“The Air Pollution Index showed that Miri is the only town in the country with a higher reading compared to the others.
“This is due to the bush fires there,” she told the New Straits Times.
She also warned of thunderstorms, flash floods and strong winds occuring during the transition period.
