The Haze is back

[Semaj2357]

The city skyline is covered with haze and acrid smell pervades, compliments of our neighbour.
Asthmatics and joggers beware.

Imagine if both our neighbours build nuclear sources of energy and there's a snafu, there'll be no need for any bicycle lanes and high coes to worry about

Regime of a peesai cuntry only knows how to bully dissidents and its citizens.

When it comes to dealing with bigger foreign countries and foreign nationals, their balls shrink and their tail goes between their legs.

Hazy Conditions Update

(Updated on 21 Aug 2012)

Singapore is currently in the Southwest Monsoon season. The Southwest Monsoon season which typically last from June to September/early October is the traditional dry season for the southern ASEAN region. During this season, the prevailing winds blow predominantly from the southeast or southwest. In addition, periods of dry weather, interspersed with occasional thundery showers in the afternoon and “Sumatra” squalls in the predawn and early morning, are common. An escalation of hotspot activities in Sumatra and Borneo can be expected during extended periods of dry weather. This could lead to an occurrence of transboundary smoke haze in the region. The impact of the smoke haze on Singapore is dependent on factors such as the proximity and extent of the fires, the strength and direction of the prevailing winds and the incidence and amount of rain.

For the past one week, an increase in hotspot activities was observed over Sumatra. With the prevailing winds over Singapore expected to blow from the south-southeast or south, the likelihood of Singapore being affected by transboundary smoke haze is low. However, occasional slight haziness in the morning, due to the accumulation of particulate matter in the atmosphere under light wind conditions can be expected.

The PSI will be updated on this website daily at 8am, 12noon and 4pm.
