SINGAPORE: Slightly hazy conditions continued on Saturday, with the Pollutant Standards Index (PSI) reaching the moderate range.
The 3-hour PSI reading was at 58 as of 9pm.
The reading was in the “good” range in the morning but inched up steadily after 12 pm.
On Friday, the PSI peaked at 71, which is in the moderate range.
The National Environment Agency (NEA) said the haze may be attributed to hotspots to the north of Singapore, blown in by the prevailing northeasterly winds.
A total of four hotspots were detected in Peninsular Malaysia on Friday, and 35 in Sumatra.
