Source of All The Smoke
It's been awfully smokey down here in SV. I can't remember it being this bad before. Do the huge fires in Indonesia have anything to do with it, is it just local agricultural burning, or both ?

Re: Source of All The Smoke
I remember flying over there a few years ago, heading over here, and you could see all the fires. This time does seem a lot worse here in PP though.

The latest PM10 air pollution reading from the Phuket Municipality Healtcare Centre is 154 which means that it is "Unhealthy" and that everyone may begin to experience health effects; members of sensitive groups may experience more serious health effects.

Re: Source of All The Smoke
Transited through Singapore three weeks ago, on descent the pilot advised all transiting passengers to stay inside Terminal 1 (if possible) as the smog had been declared detrimental to health. I stepped out to look at the sunflower garden at Terminal 2, immediately struggled to breathe, and went downhill from there. I have just finished treatment for pneumonia, don't know if the two are related. I taught in China some years back, and reckon the smog from these Indonesian fires is almost as bad as Chinese winter smog.

Hate to think what its like in Indonesia.
About time they admitted they need some help with this.
http://www.theguardian.com/environment/ ... -east-asiaAs the fume cloud smothering south-east Asia continues to worsen, Thailand calls in Indonesia’s ambassador for talks on tackling the recurring problem.
The Thai holiday island of Phuket has been plunged into a poisonous grey haze caused by illegal forest fires in neighbouring Indonesia.
Reduced visibility caused passenger planes from Singapore and Kuala Lumpur and destined for Phuket airport to turn around on Thursday. The noxious fumes which have been spreading for weeks have shut down many other parts of south-east Asia...
At first rejecting offers to help from Singapore, a foreign ministry spokesman said on Thursday that Jakarta would now work “with a number of countries including Singapore” to fight the fires...
