NEA actually calls this 'slightly hazy'....
They must be looking at the air from their ivory tower.

Haze worsens in Singapore

SINGAPORE: The haze in Singapore has worsened. The 24-hour PSI reading was 69 as at 7pm Monday, the highest so far this year.
The National Environment Agency (NEA) said this remains within the moderate range.
The worst hit are the northern and western parts of Singapore. Eastern Singapore remains within the good range, with a reading of 48.
As the haze continues, the number of respiratory cases here is expected to rise.
Healthway Medical reported a 15 per cent increase in the number of patients who came in with respiratory problems like asthma and sore throats.
Separately, childcare centres and kindergartens Channel News Asia spoke with said attendance has been regular.
But they're taking additional precautions if the haze worsens.

The haze is very bad this evening. Can smell it in the air.
"The highest PSI reading on record in Singapore is 226 in September 1997."
Gah.
I feel like I am suffocating. Usually I can see the Batam from my unit. Now I can only see a few blocks away. Hiding in aircon room. If go outside, eyes and nose feel so itchy.
Yes, I still remember that day when I reached home after work at night when it was so hazy and I asked my mother whether she was barbequeing something.Originally Posted by carbuncle
2010 crossed 100. Guess this is chicken feed.
Hazy Singapore
October 22nd, 2010 Bryan Chung
It had been almost a week since I last blogged. So I should blog something now. What about the haze situation in Singapore? The Pollutant Standards Index (or PSI) rose to the “Unhealthy” levels yesterday evening, peaking at 108. Singapore’s Environment Minister had expressed “deep concern” about the haze to his Indonesian counterpart. Singapore barely crossed into “Unhealthy” levels, I cannot imagine how bad places in Malaysia are like when news reported than schools were shut down as the PSI hit over 415! This has been an annual problem for countries surrounding Indonesia. I am just disgusted by how Indonesia seem to be “not too concern” over all these forest fire burning. Can’t they be like more responsible to not only themselves but to their neighbours?
I know where sis live now! I can't see Batam but can see all towers of Bayshore....Originally Posted by buttercarp

psi hit 75 in north as of 8am and 65 in east. I see clear skies in east. SOMETHING is VERY wrong with nea measuring equipment. Unless you tell me the thick choking smoke last night rated 65 does not contribute to the psi reading.
then the killer must be silent colorless odorless invisible. ozone anyone?
Why north is worst hit, ? Now the wind is still coming losing at the direction of south right
today is slightly better in the east
doing 20 instead of 30 laps....
The haze is always just in time for our F1.. Closer to the date, will get hazier....
all the stupid thick smoke we southeasters enjoyed last nite now has floated over to North
Hide in the house and turn on aircon. Use the aircon to filter out the aircon.
Is it? Last night heard from news that north side was the worst hit ley...Originally Posted by carbuncle
hit by invisible pollutants.... ours last nite were the visible crap
