As of 3pm on Friday, the 24-hour PSI was 81, which falls below the unhealthy range of above 100.
SINGAPORE: Singapore’s air quality may deteriorate if the wind direction changes, with an increase in the number of hotspots over Sumatra in the past few days, said the National Environment Agency on Friday .
Nearby winds are expected to continue blowing from the southeast and keep the dense haze away from Singapore, it added. The government’s Haze Task Force, made up of 28 public agencies, is ready to roll out their respective haze action plans if the air quality deteriorates into the unhealthy range, or a 24-hour PSI above 100, said NEA.
This is based on experts' predictions that there will be a severe dry spell hitting the region due to the El Nino weather phenomenon that brings with it hotter and drier conditions.
