Hotspots increase in Sumatra and Kalimantan as Singapore braces for possible hazeSingapore’s air quality remains in the Moderate range for now, but the Government’s Haze Task Force is on standby as dry weather and an increase in regional hotspots raise the risk of haze in the coming days.
However, recent dry conditions have led to an escalation in hotspots and smoke plumes over parts of Sumatra and Kalimantan.
Under the prevailing southeasterly winds, smoke haze could be blown towards Singapore, particularly from hotspots in southern Sumatra.
The task force, chaired by NEA, comprises agencies that coordinate measures to minimise the impact of haze on Singapore.
Current air quality readings and haze advisories are available on the myENV app, as well as the NEA and haze.gov.sg websites.
