A PSI reading of 101 to 200 is in the unhealthy range, for which the National Environment Agency advises the public to cut down on outdoor activities. “The haze at 9am was so thick that I could not even see the neighbouring blocks,” she told The Straits Times. “There is a likelihood of haze affecting Singapore over the coming weekend if the fires persist and wind direction is unfavourable,” said NEA.
The last time the PSI exceeded 100 was in September 2019. Back then, PSI readings ranged from 96 to 109 on Sept 21, with the highest reading of 109 recorded in the southern part of Singapore. NEA said 755 hot spots were detected in Sumatra that day. The haze started easing off about two weeks after that, when Singapore experienced more rainfall during the inter-monsoon period.
