Common questions: Kota Bharu API

What is the API in Kota Bharu right now?
The API in Kota Bharu is 70 (Moderate) as of 06:00 MYT, 4 Nov, read at the Department of Environment's Kota Bharu, KELANTAN station. Sensitive people (asthma, elderly, children) should cut back on long or strenuous outdoor activity.
Which station represents Kota Bharu?
Kota Bharu's reading here comes from the Department of Environment's Kota Bharu, KELANTAN station (CA47D), about 3 km from the city centre. One station does not represent a whole city, so other parts of it can read differently.
What will the haze be like in Kota Bharu tomorrow?
The Open-Meteo (CAMS) model puts tomorrow's API at around 15 (Good). That is a modelled forecast, not an official Department of Environment reading.
What has the highest reading in Kota Bharu been lately?
Over the last 30 days, the highest reading was 100 on 7 Oct. The daily average across that period was around 63.
Are schools in Kota Bharu closed because of haze?
Since October 2026, schools in an affected area close when the API goes above 180, or stays above 150 for three days in a row, on the instruction of the Ministry of Education or the State Education Department, not from this number alone. The current reading of 70 is well below that level.
When is haze season in Kota Bharu?
The Peninsula's east coast is most at risk from July to October, during the southwest monsoon and the peak of regional fires. The February to April dry season usually hits the west coast harder than here.
