daily updates with the scrabble weather woman

if we are all wishing for the air quality to increase, dont hope. Malaysian have urged the government to reveal the API (Air Pollution Index) and there you have it, the graph on top show the stats yesterday. YES, yesterday! Today, the API reading at Port Klang rose to 529 and Kuala Selangor 531. The API reading at Putrajaya is 364, Shah Alam, 371 and Petaling Jaya is 349 and Kuala Lumpur is 321 as off 11am. Malaysia have declared emergency over places where API exceeds 500. Here's a little info on the API thingy! 0-50 is good; 51-100 is moderate; 101-200 is unhealthy; 201-300 is extremely unhealthy; 301-500 is hazradous to health; >500 = EMERGENCY! it's only 5pm, the lamposts are switched on. See the comparison of the air quality just outside our place...
