The Damn Haze is Back

I woke up this morning, and looked out the window. What a beautiful misty morning it was.

Wait. There's no such thing as a beautiful misty morning in Kepong. I opened the window. I took in a whiff. Yes. It's back; our old nemesis, the haze. Visibility is probably some 700m - probably an API of 150 or thereabouts. I don't know what's scarier, the haze or that I have become quite familiar with it. *sigh*

We're doomed.

UPDATE 7:32am: There's seems to be no update anywhere - not on The Star and not on PPS. Am I dreaming this up, and perhaps blogging in my sleep? I'm closing back the windows and going back to sleep.

    Yup, it's back. However, along the Puchong LDP to Cyberjaya, it showered awhile. It clears the skies somewhat, just like it did when it stormed late yesterday afternoon here. Hopefully KL gets the same respite, or some winds :)

    oh, it's raining here in Bangi. So I think the cloudy weather is due to.... rain???

    I don't think there is much to worry because it is forecasted to rain at least twice a day for the next few days.
    I guess it will cancel out the haze effect and also raise our dam levels.

    We had rain, Percolator. And right after I blogged too. Hallelujah!!
    Nah, Musical. This morning was definitely haze. Rain smells lovely. Haze smells like crap. :lol:
    :lol: Lil' Patchee! I know the feeling.
    That's good news indeed, Egghead.
    Hmm, it was perfect in Kepong last night, Simon.
    Yeah, Jefferene. Made me almost go back to bed and sleep. :)
    Long rain we had today ought to clear that up, Babe! :)
    I dunno, Primrose. Maybe the rainwater is contaminated with haze particles. Nasty!!!
    It's still drizzling now, Brian. :)

    Uh, I was born & grew up in Kepong until the very day I left the country. Saw that pretty little place being transformed into an ugly concrete jungle...

    Hey there Deepsy. Take a look across the LDP and you might see us.
    Kepong? A pretty little place, Bohemianlisa? Hmm... I must be in the wrong Kepong. :lol:
