Common questions: Sarawak API
- What is the API in Sarawak right now?
- The highest reading in Sarawak is 57 (Moderate) at the Samalaju station, as of 06:00 MYT, 4 Nov. Sensitive people (asthma, elderly, children) should cut back on long or strenuous outdoor activity.
- How many stations monitor Sarawak?
- 13 Department of Environment stations report in Sarawak: Bintulu, ILP Miri, IPD Serian, Kapit, Kuching, Limbang, Miri, Mukah, Samalaju, Samarahan, Sarikei, Sibu, Sri Aman. None is at an unhealthy level right now.
- Are schools in Sarawak 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 57 is well below that level.
- When is haze season in Sarawak?
- In Sabah, Sarawak and Labuan, the riskiest window is July to October, when forest and peatland fires on Borneo and across the region peak. El Niño years are usually worse, because dry peat catches fire more easily.
