Haze worsens overnight as air quality turns unhealthy across Singapore
Showers are forecast over Singapore and the surrounding region on Saturday, said NEA, although smoke haze could continue to be transported from Sumatra.
Singapore's air quality deteriorated overnight, with the 24-hour Pollutant Standards Index (PSI) reaching unhealthy levels across all five regions Saturday morning (Oct 24). Hourly PM2.5 concentrations were also elevated throughout the country, ranging from 72 in the east to 115 in the west. The National Environment Agency (NEA) forecast the PSI for Saturday to range from 90 to 140, falling within the moderate to unhealthy categories.
Smoke haze from Sumatra continued to be transported towards Singapore, with the potential for conditions to improve on Sunday when winds are expected to shift to the southwest or west.
