Common questions: Sungai Petani API

What is the API in Sungai Petani right now?
The API in Sungai Petani is 53 (Moderate) as of 06:00 MYT, 4 Nov, read at the Department of Environment's Sungai Petani, KEDAH station. Sensitive people (asthma, elderly, children) should cut back on long or strenuous outdoor activity.
Which station represents Sungai Petani?
Sungai Petani's reading here comes from the Department of Environment's Sungai Petani, KEDAH station (CA04K), 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 Sungai Petani tomorrow?
The Open-Meteo (CAMS) model puts tomorrow's API at around 52 (Moderate). That is a modelled forecast, not an official Department of Environment reading.
What has the highest reading in Sungai Petani been lately?
Over the last 30 days, the highest reading was 157 on 9 Oct. The daily average across that period was around 67.
Are schools in Sungai Petani 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 53 is well below that level.
When is haze season in Sungai Petani?
The Peninsula's west coast has two risky windows: February to April, when haze is more local, and July to October, the worst window, when the southwest monsoon carries smoke from regional forest and peatland fires. El Niño years are usually worse.
