Air quality in unhealthy range across most of Singapore
In an update on Monday evening, the National Environment Agency said the 24-hour PSI for Singapore was forecast to be in the high moderate to mid unhealthy range.
Singapore's air quality remains unhealthy across most regions, with the National Environment Agency (NEA) forecasting a 24-hour PSI in the high moderate to mid unhealthy range as of Monday evening. The unhealthy range is between 101 to 200. Four of Singapore's five regions, namely the central, western, eastern and northern parts, are still experiencing unhealthy air quality.
However, the southern region improved to the moderate range. The 1-hour PM2.5 readings, which indicate a more current air quality, are elevated in central, western and eastern Singapore. The NEA advises healthy individuals to reduce strenuous outdoor activity for the next hour when 1-hour PM2.5 levels are elevated. The elderly, pregnant women, children and people with chronic heart or lung conditions should avoid such activities.
Smoke plumes from southern Sumatra and Kalimantan are drifting into Singapore due to dry conditions and prevailing southeast or east-southeast winds.
