Every year, fires in Indonesia create a smoky haze that can end up blanketing the entire South East Asian region. Indonesia meteorological agency BMKG said satellite imagery revealed numerous hot spots and "thick smoke distribution" in the area around the Jambi region.
Professor Koh Tieh Yong, of the Singapore University of Social Sciences, explained that this phenomenon, known as Rayleigh scattering, has to do with certain types of particles that are present during a period of haze. Prof Koh added that this phenomenon would not "modify the air temperature".
