October 11, 6pm: Kuching API at 82, Miri at 96
-
Kuching recorded an Air Pollutant Index of 82 and Miri 96 at 6pm on October 11, both in the moderate category.
The Sarawak Natural Resources and Environment Board's evening table lists moderate air quality at all 20 stations with available readings. Nearby Samarahan was at 74 and Serian at 70. Bintulu and Samalaju each recorded 93, while Lundu was at 92. Betong's station was marked as having no latest data, so it is not included in that count.
The evening snapshot is lower than the 3pm readings of 85 in Kuching and 98 in Miri reported by The Borneo Post. Miri had briefly reached an unhealthy 104 at noon before returning to the moderate category at 1pm. That noon reading should not be mistaken for the city's evening status.
These are readings for a stated hour, not a forecast for the rest of the night or a decision on tomorrow's school arrangements. Residents checking conditions for their own area should use the latest local station reading on the Department of Environment's APIMS portal rather than an earlier haze alert.
