Malaysian weather 2015 and spring equinox

Feb and March 2015 were particularly hot and dry in Malaysia. It was the end of the monsoon season and there long periods with no rain. So the hot increased and the haze came back. The heat was unbearable at times, up to 35C.

Spring equinox in the northern hemisphere is when the sun is directly over the equator, about March 21. There was also an eclipse of the sun seen in Europe and high tides between England and France. However I missed this being in Malaysia. It was a new moon on 20th.

This was the sunset through the haze
