SHAH ALAM: City dwellers here woke up to the unexpected haze enveloping the skies this morning.
The Department of Environment Malaysia website, however, showed only moderate levels of the Air Pollutant Index (API) of between 51 and 100.
As of 2pm, the API was the highest in Petaling Jaya at 79, Banting at 70, 68 at Port Klang, 67 in Shah Alam and 57 in Kuala Selangor.
Housewife Salina Shahbuddin however hoped the weather condition would improved by the end of the day.
"It is not that bad now but I have chosen to close all my windows and the sliding doors this morning and afternoon as there is a slight burning smell," said the 42-year-old from Section 13, here.
The mother of three said she would consider not allowing her children out for their daily evening football games today unless the haze goes away by then.
