The haze Singapore situation has rapidly deteriorated, pushing air quality back into the unhealthy band across all five regions. Today, the Singapore air quality PSI levels breached the 100-point threshold islandwide, with the central region recording a peak of 164 by 10AM. This resurgence mirrors the worst haze in Singapore experienced earlier this month—marking the first time since September 15 that the entire island has been affected by such severe air pollution. Here’s the Singapore haze update for today.
Singapore haze update
For residents looking out their windows and wondering why is the haze so bad in Singapore, the main driver is the transboundary smoke from neighbouring regions. Dry weather has intensified hotspot activities and forest fires in southern Sumatra and Kalimantan. Meanwhile, the dense smoke plumes are being blown directly into our city causing the Singapore haze air pollution.
With the ongoing smog, the National Environment Agency (NEA) anticipates that the Singapore haze air quality will hover between the high-moderate and mid-unhealthy ranges for the foreseeable.
