Yep as soon as the "cool" weather appears  "everything" is burned    maybe its tradition or they are trying to keep warm ???? or crops have been harvested and they burn the stubble   when they could  turn it back into the soil and save money on buying fertiliser next year and save everyone dying from respiratory problems !!

I heard fertilizer companies tell them to burn so can seek Fertilizer

Gonna be an ugly winter.  Smog season starts earlier and earlier every year.

Winds have turned around and blowing from the North means all the crappy

Chinese air is headed our way.  It used to take until late December to reach us.

Now, its here already.

AQI is 165 at midnight in Pattaya!!!  Sheesh.

Yes, I had a look around 11:00 last night and it was much worse than it had been during the day, I guess because the government app advises them to burn all their agricultural waste at night?

This time of year the air mass movement is more north to south or northeast to  southwest. Generally at other times it's southwest to north east, so at this time of year it brings a lot of 'stuff' from inland to the gulf area.

Now and then at this time we get the occassional 'whiff' of Maptaphut coming in.

Worst visibility for ages, seems OK to breath though, maybe will be clear tomorrow. I guess the burning is causing it? 

 

I've no idea, looking at the IQAir map it's only really bad in the Pattaya area, even Bangkok is better, and the famous hot spots for air pollution like Chiang Mai are enjoying a reasonable AQI of 60 or so. As you say, it's dreadful visibility and poor AQI, but I don;t smell smoke, so I've no idea what's causing it.

Seems a bit better today, AQI just 76 at the moment at Tara Pattana,

It has gone warmer and more humid and we had some rain.... but I thought my eyes were giving up yesterday with the haze.

Here's the picture at around 9:30 this morning. Not so bad in Pattaya, but worse in nearby areas like Rayong and to the east. Worse again in Bangkok, I wonder if the wind will blow that lot our way later on?

First the Chin... send their air and later their citizens.

They must  feel welcome and like home.

It's a long weekend (again).

Maybe he is on a short trip somewhere.

The air outside is horrific. And I think it's time to stop blaming farmers for burning fields. The red spot is only over Bangkok and the wind taking the pollution down south, according to Windy app.

And blaming the Chinese is stretching a bit as well!
