International: Smoke intensifies in Indonesia and Malaysia

The smoke in Indonesia increased rapidly on Monday and created extremely hazy skies across the Malacca Strait here in Malaysia, which I noticed distinctly on Tuesday when we went on a site visit ~40 km south of KL today. The left image is from Monday, the right image is from Tuesday. I believe these conditions will continue until we get a good rain in the region. If you need some help with geography, here is an older map with annotations.
