Haze in Singapore

Singapore has registered unhealthy Pollutant Standards Index (PSI) readings daily since Oct 5 – making this 12-day period the longest continuous stretch of poor air quality the country has had to endure since the 2015 haze crisis.The haze episodes in 2015 and 2026 were worsened by strong El Nino events. This weather phenomenon is associated with drier, hotter weather in equatorial ASEAN countries, including Indonesia, which causes the forest and plantation fires there to spiral out of control. So far in 2026, Singapore has endured almost six weeks of hazy conditions(News Source : The Straits Times, Singapore)
