SINGAPORE – Singapore may experience “occasional slight haze” over the next few days, the National Environment Agency (NEA) said today (March 2).
The NEA said 70 hotspots were detected in Indonesia’s Sumatra island today, with smoke plumes and haze visible in Riau province.
However, the prevailing northeasterly winds will keep the haze from Sumatra away from Singapore for the next few days, said the NEA, although there may be occasional slight haze due to the accumulation of particulate matter under stable atmospheric conditions, especially in the mornings.
Fair and warm conditions are expected over the next few days.
The NEA added it will continue to monitor the situation closely, and provide updates.
