BANGKOK, Feb 15 (TNA) – The haze situation remains concerning as Bangkok ranks among the top 10 major cities globally with the worst pollution.

 

Across the country, air pollution exceeds standards in 56 provinces.

 

According to the Bangkok Metropolitan Administration’s air quality data, as of 7:00 a.m. today (February 15), the PM2.5 level ranged from 53.3 to 87.5 micrograms per cubic meter, with an average of 69.1 micrograms per cubic meter, showing a decreasing trend compared to the same period yesterday.

decreasing trend eh ? you sure about that ? 

At least in Pattaya (Jomtien) today, the wind changed from the north east to the south, which has improved the AQI from unhealthy to moderate, probably about the best we can expect for this time of year. I can fairly reliably guess the wind direction from my place even without opening the balcony doors - if the island of Koh Larn’s barely visible or invisible, there’s no wind or wind from NE, if the outline of the island’s well defined, the wind’s more from the south. Still by no means clean air - even on better days, I’ve not seen the sun set beneath the waves for a month, it just disappears into the murk.
