Bad Air Day
Wednesday, September 7, 2011 at 6:03PM
I realised that KL's skyline was really bad today. Visibility at ground level was only about 250 meters. I couldn't see the twin tower from my backyard when I woke up this morning. And that is not normal.
Apparently, there had been a few hot spots in Sumatera again from the last couple of weeks. Not from bakar lemang I was reliably told. The air quality has since plummeted in our Peninsular. Today was the worst. The last time the air quality was this bad, my boys ended up with asthma attacks.
The fact that it had not been raining for the last few days did not help. The weather looked overcast. Here was praying for some proper rain. The kind with cats, dogs and other fluffy animals!
