Blue skies for now, haze set to return
After days of unhealthy and hazardous PSI levels, Singaporeans were greeted with blue skies on Saturday afternoon.
Although the day's three-hour reading was at its highest at 10am when it reached 326, levels dropped to 73 at 5pm before raising to 82 at 8pm.
Singapore leaders have however urged citizens to be prepared for a prolonged period of haze.
The National Environment Agency said the improvement on Saturday was due to a temporary area free of dense haze upwind of Singapore and transient changes in local wind conditions.
Hazy conditions can still be expected on Sunday as dry conditions and winds blowing from the southwest or west persist.
The 24-hour PSI reading for Sunday is expected to be in the “very unhealthy” range of 201-300.
