Sarawak Plans Third Cloud-Seeding Operation Amid Haze and Dry Weather
-
Sarawak may carry out a third cloud-seeding operation as haze and dry weather put pressure on water supplies.
The Sarawak Disaster Management Committee (SDMC) said the operation will target critical dam catchments and water catchment areas. It will be carried out with the National Disaster Management Agency (NADMA), but only if suitable clouds and weather conditions are available. MetMalaysia will decide the location and timing after technical checks.
At noon on Aug 14, unhealthy API readings included Kuching 171, Samarahan 170, Serian 182 and Sri Aman 162. SDMC warned prolonged dry weather could worsen haze, strain water sources and raise the risk of forest, peatland and open-burning fires.
Location: Sarawak, including Kuching and Samarahan
Details: This would be Sarawak’s third cloud-seeding operation this year.
