SINGAPORE — Showers over Singapore and the region are expected to keep the chance of haze low on Thursday (Oct 12), said the National Environment Agency (NEA) in its daily haze advisory.
"While drier weather is forecast over southern and parts of central Sumatra tomorrow, showers over Singapore and its surrounding regions are expected to keep the likelihood of transboundary haze low," said the agency.The Pollutant Standards Index is forecast to be in the moderate range for the next 24 hours, NEA added.
Drier conditions were observed on Wednesday over several parts of Sumatra, with 66 hotspots detected mostly over the southern and central areas. This was more than the 15 hotspots detected on Tuesday. As of 6pm on Wednesday, the 1-hour PM2.5 concentration readings were in the normal range, while the PSI was between 56 and 81 in the moderate range.
The health impact of haze is dependent on one’s health status, the PSI level, and the length and intensity of outdoor activity. NEA regards a PSI reading of 101-200 as"unhealthy".
