PETALING JAYA: The nation should brace for more hazy days ahead as the weather will become hotter and drier in the coming months, says Natural Resources, Environment and Climate Change Minister Nik Nazmi Nik Ahmad.
“We expect to see more haze particularly during the current monsoon transition period that will last till August.
He acknowledged that there were several areas in Peninsular Malaysia currently experiencing poor air quality.Besides the hot and drier weather during the monsoon transition period, resumption of economic activities after the Covid-19 pandemic was also contributing to the haze, said Nik Nazmi. “But the economy is now fully reopened and at full capacity again. As such, we expect the haze to return,” he said.“Malaysia is not the only country experiencing hot and dry weather. Several other countries in the region are also experiencing it.
Citing the fire in Kampung Beoh, Bachok, Kelantan as an example, he said drier conditions could ignite fires that would lead to haze.
