PETALING JAYA: The country would see a higher reading of the Air Pollutant Index (API) due to transboundary haze from neighbouring Indonesia until Oct 4, warned climatologists.
This is due to the occurrence of El Nino and the positive Indian Ocean Dipole (+IOD) leading to drier weather than the past years, with experts warning that those who did not get to clear their land through open burning may do so with gusto this year.
