Common questions: Sibu API

What is the API in Sibu right now?
The API in Sibu is 40 (Good) as of 06:00 MYT, 4 Nov, read at the Department of Environment's Sibu, SARAWAK station. Air quality is good. Outdoor activity as usual.
Which station represents Sibu?
Sibu's reading here comes from the Department of Environment's Sibu, SARAWAK station (CA61Q), 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 Sibu tomorrow?
The Open-Meteo (CAMS) model puts tomorrow's API at around 18 (Good). That is a modelled forecast, not an official Department of Environment reading.
What has the highest reading in Sibu been lately?
Over the last 30 days, the highest reading was 156 on 26 Oct. The daily average across that period was around 70.
Are schools in Sibu 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 40 is well below that level.
When is haze season in Sibu?
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.
