Straits Times 20 May 08;
KUALA LUMPUR - MALAYSIA'S annual problem of dry weather and hazy skies seems to be here again.
A check with the Malaysian Meteorological Services Department revealed 207 hotspots in Sumatra on Sunday, though it was a drop from Saturday's 372 hotspots.
Peninsular Malaysia had four hotspots, while Borneo had 52.
A spokesman said on Sunday that Malaysians could expect dry weather over the next few days.
'With the current south-west monsoon, it is quite normal to have dry weather,' he said.
'This weather pattern is generally expected to last until September, especially in the peninsula and Sarawak.'
