SINGAPORE – The hazy conditions in recent days in Singapore are expected to ease when the winds strengthen as the number of hot spots in the surrounding region has remained low, said the National Environment Agency (NEA).

“Singapore is not expected to experience transboundary haze in the coming week as the number of hot spots detected by satellites remains low, and no significant haze has been observed in the surrounding region.

“However, localised hazy conditions can sometimes occur during the night and early morning due to an accumulation of particulate matter under light wind conditions,” said NEA.

In the past five days up until Friday at 5pm, the 24-hour Pollutant Standards Index (PSI) reading was good to moderate, ranging from 18 to 74.

NEA noted that average hourly PM2.5 levels were 18 micrograms per cubic m – slightly higher than the previous week’s 11 micrograms per cubic m. Still, the levels are within NEA’s guideline for the public to continue with normal activities.

Higher should be 'better' based on my experience during the time when Singapore has PSI over 400. When I went downstairs, I felt that the haze 'thickens'. Could be just my perception. Most probably no difference.

in the days of Indonesian haze same type of comments
but now it is further away and more dangerous
it means the source is not easing
winds just a false sense.
the particulates just move to another place.
