No end to haze until October

The haze in certain parts of the peninsula was at its worst yesterday. And the bad news is that the situation will not improve in the coming days.
According to the Meteorological Department, the dry weather will continue until October.
Current wind directions are not expected to change until the inter-monsoon season in two months' time.
The only hope of seeing some haze-free days will be when the fires in Sumatra are put out, according to the department's deputy director-general (forecast) Dr Yap Kok Seng.
He said some rain could be expected towards the end of this week although the next few days would be dry.
