Air quality in Singapore's west entered the elevated range on the morning of Oct 29, with the one-hour PM2.5 reading reaching 57, the first time since Oct 27. At 11am, PM2.5 readings across the regions ranged from 43 to 57, while the 24-hour Pollutant Standards Index (PSI) remained in the good-to-moderate range, between 71 and 78. The National Environment Agency (NEA) forecast the 24-hour PSI for Oct 29 to be between 60 and 90.
Showers are expected over Sumatra, Singapore and the surrounding region, which could suppress the regional haze. Despite drier conditions in parts of Kalimantan, smoke haze is unlikely to reach Singapore due to favourable winds. NEA advised healthy individuals to reduce strenuous outdoor activities when PM2.5 levels are elevated, while vulnerable groups should avoid them.
