This came off my face after a couple of hours riding in Java, and it was quite clear at that point!

Apparently they’re burning down some more of the Sumatran rain forest to make way for more palm plantations, so the whole area we are in at the moment (along with half of SE Asia) is blanketed in a smoke haze.

Can’t really blame them for wanting to get ahead, after all we’ve destroyed all of our forests already, still it’s a shame.
