October 29 API snapshot: Kuching at 52, Samarahan at 37
-
Kuching recorded an Air Pollutant Index of 52 at 8am on Thursday, Oct 29, placing it in the moderate category rather than the good category.
Nearby stations did not all give the same picture. Samarahan registered 37 and Serian 50, both within the good range, while Lundu stood at 56, also moderate. The Borneo Post reported the figures from the Natural Resources and Environment Board’s Sarawak API status report.
The boundary matters when comparing the numbers: readings from 0 to 50 are classified as good, and 51 to 100 as moderate. Kuching was therefore just above the good-air threshold; its reading should not be substituted for Samarahan’s or treated as a single measure for the whole area.
Elsewhere in the state, Belaga recorded 33 and Samalaju 71. These figures describe the 8am monitoring snapshot, not conditions guaranteed for the rest of Thursday. Anyone following changes through the day should compare the relevant station and reporting time, rather than read the morning figure as an all-day forecast.
