Common questions: Kuantan API

What is the API in Kuantan right now?
The API in Kuantan is 43 (Good) as of 06:00 MYT, 4 Nov, read at the Department of Environment's Indera Mahkota Kuantan, PAHANG station. Air quality is good. Outdoor activity as usual.
Which station represents Kuantan?
Kuantan's reading here comes from the Department of Environment's Indera Mahkota Kuantan, PAHANG station (CA40C), about 4 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 Kuantan tomorrow?
The Open-Meteo (CAMS) model puts tomorrow's API at around 10 (Good). That is a modelled forecast, not an official Department of Environment reading.
What has the highest reading in Kuantan been lately?
Over the last 30 days, the highest reading was 166 on 8 Oct. The daily average across that period was around 91.
Are schools in Kuantan 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 43 is well below that level.
When is haze season in Kuantan?
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.
