In Penang, despite the Air Pollutant Index readings for the state showing moderate air pollution on the island and mainland, visibility has been affected following the haze.

The mainland shows a reading of between 74 and 83 at various locations, placing them under the “moderate” category. The Asean Specialised Meteorological Centre reported recently of a severe transboundary haze in various places in Myanmar, Thailand and Laos.
