Kuching API at 65 as all Sarawak stations stay below unhealthy band
-
Kuching recorded an Air Pollutant Index of 65 at 8am on Oct 22, within the moderate band. None of the 21 Sarawak locations in the morning update was in the unhealthy category.
The Borneo Post’s report of the Natural Resources and Environment Board readings put nearby Samarahan at 71, Serian and Tebedu at 68, and Lundu at 65. These are readings for Thursday morning, not a forecast for the rest of the day.
Only three locations were in the good band: Lawas at 29, Bario at 33 and Limbang at 35. The other 18 were moderate, with Betong recording the highest figure at 84, followed by Sri Aman at 83.
For Kuching readers, the distinction is that local air was moderate, not good, even though all stations were below the unhealthy band. The stated classifications put readings of 0–50 in the good category and 51–100 in moderate.
The 8am snapshot gives a dated reference for comparing later updates; it does not establish that haze has ended or that conditions will remain unchanged.
