Haze in Singapore: Before and after photos
As PSI levels surged into the “very unhealthy” range across Singapore on Oct 16, drag the slider to compare clear city skies with views shrouded in dense haze.
Pollutant Standards Index (PSI) levels in Singapore reached the "very unhealthy" range on October 16, with the 24-hour PSI climbing to a yearly record high of 229 on Friday, according to Channel News Asia and CNA - Singapore. While air quality improved by Saturday morning, readings remained within the unhealthy range. The Straits Times noted that the surge resulted in dense haze obscuring city skies.
The poor air quality has led to the postponement or rescheduling of various sporting and community events. Channel News Asia and CNA - Singapore report that the Great Eastern Women’s Run and the Purple Parade have already been affected. Additionally, the Football Association of Singapore announced that the FA Cup final and third-place play-off, originally scheduled for Saturday, October 17, at Jurong East Stadium, were postponed after the PSI in the western region exceeded 200. This breached the threshold set by the FAS-Singapore Premier League Haze Management Protocol.
