Slightly hazier conditions could be due to shift in wind direction: NEA
After two days of rain, Singapore experienced slightly hazier conditions on Thursday.
The 24-hr PSI for most of Thursday stayed within the moderate range, but there was a shift in wind conditions.
According to the National Environment Agency the winds were blowing from the southwesterly direction as opposed to the southeast on Wednesday.
It said the winds will fluctuate from both directions for the next few days.
Slightly hazy conditions can be expected as well as thundery showers in the afternoon.
The 24-hr PSI is expected to be in the moderate band of 51-100 on Friday.
However, the 24-hr PM2.5 levels may continue to rise.
The PM2.5 reading measures fine particles measuring 2.5 micrometres or less in diameter, as well as ultrafine particles and soot.
NEA also said that at this point, there are no plans for schools to remain shut when term starts next week.
