Update on Hotspot and Haze Situation

4.          Showers fell over the northern and eastern parts of Singapore today. As at 5pm, the 1-hr PM2.5 concentration readings were 8 – 40 µg/m3, in (Band 1, Normal), and the 24-hr PSI was 58 – 75, in the Moderate range. Moderate haze remained confined over parts of Kalimantan.

5.          For tomorrow, while prevailing winds are expected to blow from the east or southeast, showers over Sumatra, Kalimantan and Singapore and the surrounding region are likely to keep the haze situation subdued for Singapore.

6.         Easterly or southeasterly winds are expected to continue on Monday and turn light and variable in direction on Tuesday. However, forecast showers are likely to continue suppressing the haze situation. 

Activity Guidelines

7.         The health impact of haze is dependent on one’s health status, the PSI level, and the length and intensity of outdoor activity. 

8.        For updates, visit our haze microsite (www.haze.gov.sg), the NEA website (www.nea.gov.sg), MSS website (www.weather.gov.sg), mobile app (myENV) or follow us on NEA Facebook (www.facebook.com/NEASingapore). For information on the distribution of hotspots detected over the past fortnight in the region, please refer to the ASEAN Specialised Meteorological Centre (ASMC) website at http://asmc.asean.org.

Areas with lighter smoke haze are not indicated as they cannot be clearly discerned from satellite imagery. The full extent of the hotspot and smoke haze situation could not be determined due to cloud cover.
