To help you decide on your immediate outdoor activities during the haze season, NEA and Ministry of Health have introduced a 1-hr PM2.5 personal guide. To plan your activities or events for the next day, continue to refer to the 24-hr PSI forecast and accompanying health advisory. Save the picture above for a quick reference. More info available at https://go.gov.sg/haze-personal-guide-mr #SGHaze

Slightly hazy conditions with burning smell were observed in parts of SG this morning (2 Mar). A hotspot with smoke plume was detected in Johor in the late afternoon yesterday. The smoke plume was blown by the prevailing northeasterly winds towards SG before it dissipated in the evening. The prevailing winds over SG are expected to continue blowing from north to northeast for the next few days. Slightly hazy conditions with burning smell may still be expected over parts of SG today.

The 1-hr PM2.5 concentration readings entered Band 2 (Elevated) between 6 and 7am in the East of SG this morning before returning to Band 1 (Normal) since 8am. As at 11am, the 24-hr PSI was 61-74, in the Moderate range.

When deciding whether or not to go ahead with outdoor activities, use the above personal guide and refer to the 1-hr PM2.5 concentration readings available on www.haze.gov.sg, www.nea.gov.sg and myENV app. We will continue to monitor the situation and provide updates when necessary. #SGHaze
