Singapore haze pushes air quality into unhealthy range again

Singapore's air quality deteriorated again, pushing central areas into the unhealthy range, according to the National Environment Agency (NEA). The 24-hour Pollutant Standards Index (PSI) hit 105 at 8am on September 10, rising from 102 at 11pm the previous day. Haze originating from fires in southern and central Sumatra and Kalimantan continued to affect Singapore, with some smoke plumes detected as dense.
NEA warned that showers were expected in parts of Sumatra, but dry conditions in Kalimantan and southern Sumatra would likely continue, heightening the risk of further haze if fires persisted. The agency forecast Singapore's 24-hour PSI to remain in the high-moderate to low-unhealthy range. Air quality first entered the unhealthy range on September 4, peaking at 123, the highest reading since 2023.
The unhealthy conditions endured into September 5 before returning to moderate at 9pm that day. NEA started issuing daily haze advisories from the evening of September 4 due to the worsening air quality. A PSI reading between 101 and 200 is considered unhealthy, 201 to 300 very unhealthy, and above 300 hazardous.
