Haze (Part 2) and North Korea Nuclear testing

Its becoming a hot topic.

Yes, the haze. Everyone, including me wants to know the PSI index. And i ain't talking about pressure (Pounds per Square Inch). I am talking about the pollution index of the air.

I managed to download the latest satellite photos of the hotspots of Sumatra and Kalimatan, Indonesia, thanks to the NEA website.

This (above) is the satellite picture of the hot spots in Sumatra, (in red dots).


And the above is the picture of the hot spots in kalimatan. There are a lot more hotspots there.

A diagram of the spread of the haze over affecting countries.

Its a large area. And Singapore is smack right in the middle of it...

N. Korea Nuclear Test.

As you all know, North Korea has recently done a nuclear test. But what really interest me is the series of earthquakes in the region that has been reported.

Seems like the rate has increased. For the 1 week period.
