Lubok Antu at 125, Kuching 88 in October 14 evening air readings
-
Kuching recorded an Air Pollutant Index of 88 at 5pm on October 14, while Lubok Antu was the highest reported Sarawak station at 125, in the unhealthy band.
The Borneo Post, citing the Natural Resources and Environment Board, reported readings of 96 in Samarahan and 99 in Serian. Both remained in the moderate band, which runs from 51 to 100; unhealthy starts at 101. The figures show why a statewide haze description cannot substitute for a station reading.
Sibu and Lawas also recorded 88, while Miri was at 80 and Bintulu at 81. All other locations with available readings were moderate in that snapshot. Betong had no latest reading available in the report: missing data is not a zero or a clean-air result.
These are the October 14, 5pm readings, not a forecast or a live measurement for the rest of the evening. A later station update is needed to establish whether conditions have changed.
