PETALING JAYA: Klang Valley and some parts of Johor are expected to be enshrouded in haze until tonight due to the southern winds moving towards Malaysia.

Climate specialist Prof Datuk Dr Azizan Abu Samah said that despite anticipated rains that could “clear the sky” across the country, the elevated air pollution index (API) will persist in the upcoming days due to continuous open burning in Indonesia.
