KUALA LUMPUR, MALAYSIA - 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.'
