Haze returns to Singapore as Mekong region burns: NEA Coconuts 1/3/2021 Friday’s hazy skies over Toa Payoh. Photo: David Teo Boon Hwee
Singaporeans in some parts of the country experienced haze over the weekend blowing in from fires across the Mekong region and neighboring countries.
Air quality dipped into “unhealthy” territory by government measure on Saturday evening in Singapore’s north. The pollution likely came from fires burning in Myanmar, Vietnam, and Cambodia, followed by some scattered across Thailand, Indonesia, Malaysia, and the Philippines, according to a map by the National Environment Agency, or NEA.
Over the weekend, pollution rose to above 100 on the agency’s index. Fifty-one to 100 is considered moderate air quality. As of Monday afternoon, it was 63 in the north and 69 inland. The agency said it expects conditions to improve this week as showers are forecast for the Mekong region.
