So now we get two haze a year. Once from smoking paddy fields of mekong and chao phraya.
 
No worries, there will be no mask shortage like in 2019. :thumbsup:

No lah, it's a different smell from joss paper. My trained nose can tell the difference.

Haze smell is more organic, smells like certain rural areas in Malaysia where they sweep up leaves and weeds to burn in a bonfire.
 
Air quality hits unhealthy levels in northern part of Singapore
www.channelnewsasia.com
SINGAPORE: Air quality in Singapore entered the unhealthy range on Saturday (Feb 27) as the Pollutant Standards Index (PSI) went beyond the 100 mark.

At 7pm on Saturday, the 24-hour PSI reading in the northern part of Singapore breached the 100 mark to hit 102.

The reading edged up to 108 at 8pm before dropping to 104 at 9pm and 90 at 10pm.

According to the National Environment Agency (NEA), PSI readings of 50 and below denote “good” air quality, “moderate” for 51-100 and “unhealthy” for 101-200.

As of 10pm, the rest of the readings were:
  • 61 in the south
  • 70 in the east
  • 58 in the west
  • 65 in the central region
The 24-hour Pollutant Standards Index (PSI) is computed based on six air pollutants - PM2.5, PM10, ozone, sulphur dioxide, nitrogen dioxide and carbon monoxide.
According to NEA's website, the ozone sub-index was in the Unhealthy range between 7pm and 9pm.

The sub-indices for the PM2.5 and PM10 readings were in the moderate and good range, respectively.

CNA has asked NEA for more information.

Separately, according to the latest weather and haze situation update on NEA's website at about 6pm on Saturday, isolated to scattered hotspots were detected over much of the sub-region on Saturday.

"Thin to moderate smoke haze was observed over much of the sub-region, with dense smoke haze observed over Myanmar, Thailand and Cambodia. However, in areas with cloud cover, the full extent of the smoke haze could not be fully discerned," said NEA on the website.

"Most of the air quality stations in the central parts of the Mekong sub-region reported 'Unhealthy' air quality values, with a few in the northeastern Thailand and its central highland regions reporting 'Very Unhealthy' air quality," it added.

Isolated hotspots were also detected in Peninsular Malaysia, northern Sumatra and western Kalimantan, said NEA.

"Thin to moderate smoke haze was observed over parts of southwestern Kalimantan, with dense smoke haze observed to emanate from a cluster of hotspots in western Kalimantan," said NEA.

"However, the full extent of the smoke haze situation over Sumatra and Peninsular Malaysia could not be discerned due to cloud cover."

Looking ahead, NEA said on its website that dry weather is expected to persist over the Mekong sub-region over the next few days. As such, the hotspot and smoke haze situations are likely to remain elevated, it said.

It added that dry conditions are also expected to persist over Peninsular Malaysia, Singapore, the northern and central parts of Sumatra, as well as the western and southern parts of Borneo Island, increasing the risk of hotspot activities in these areas.
 
Just wondering. It could be from indochona. Bangkok was shrouded in haze due to farmers burning paddy husk and field before next plant8ng the next batch of crops.

SINGAPORE: Part of Singapore experienced slightly hazy conditions with a burning smell on Tuesday (Mar 2) morning, said the National Environment Agency (NEA).

A hotspot with smoke plume was detected in Johor in the late afternoon on Monday, said the NEA in a Facebook post.

"The smoke plume was blown by the prevailing northeasterly winds towards Singapore before it dissipated in the evening," said the agency.

Prevailing winds over Singapore are expected to continue blowing from north to northeast for the next few days. Slightly hazy conditions with a burning smell may still be expected over parts of Singapore on Tuesday, said the NEA.

The 1-hr PM2.5 concentration readings entered Band II (Elevated) between 6am and 7am in the east of Singapore on Tuesday morning, before returning to Band I (Normal) since 8am, said NEA.

As of 11am on Tuesday, the 24-hr PSI was 61 to 74, which is in the Moderate range.

Members of the public who are deciding whether or not to go ahead with outdoor activities can refer to the 1-hr PM2.5 concentration readings available on www.haze.gov.sg, www.nea.gov.sg and the myENV app. They can also refer to the guide below.

"We will continue to monitor the situation and provide updates when necessary," said NEA.

Last Saturday, air quality in Singapore entered the unhealthy range as the PSI went beyond the 100 mark.

At 7pm on Feb 27, the 24-hour PSI reading in the northern part of Singapore breached the 100 mark to hit 102.

The reading edged up to 108 at 8pm before dropping to 104 at 9pm and 90 at 10pm.

In response to CNA's queries, NEA said the PSI in the northern region had entered the unhealthy range at 7pm on Saturday due to heightened levels of ozone.
