NEA had forecast moderate air quality on Thursday.<\/p>\n
In its advisory on Wednesday evening, NEA said the 24-hour PSI is forecast to range between 60 and 90 on Thursday.<\/p>\n
Air quality has remained in the good-to-moderate range since 11pm on Sunday, following an earlier spell of hazy conditions.<\/p>\n
“Showers are expected over Sumatra, Singapore and the surrounding region, which should help to keep the regional haze situation suppressed,” said the agency.<\/p>\n
While drier conditions may return over parts of Kalimantan, smoke haze from the area is unlikely to drift towards Singapore due to favourable winds, it added.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Looking ahead to Friday and Saturday, the agency said southeasterly to southwesterly winds are expected.<\/p>\n
“However, showers are expected over the region which could help with the haze situation,” it said.<\/p>\n
NEA has advised the public to refer to the 24-hour PSI forecast when planning outdoor activities and to check the latest 1-hour PM2.5 readings before undertaking immediate outdoor activities.<\/p>\n
Based on Thursday’s PSI forecast, all members of the public can continue with their usual outdoor activities.<\/p>\n
When hourly PM2.5 concentrations are in the elevated band, healthy individuals should reduce strenuous outdoor activities for the next hour.<\/p>\n
Vulnerable groups, including children, elderly people, pregnant women and those with chronic heart or lung conditions, should avoid strenuous outdoor activities during that period.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
