Hazy conditions persist in Singapore

Channel NewsAsia 13 Mar 14;

SINGAPORE: Hazy conditions continued to affect Singapore on Thursday, with the 3-hour PSI hitting a high of 87 at 8pm - the highest so far this year.

But there could be some reprieve on Friday.

The National Environment Agency website forecasts showers over southern and western Singapore in the late afternoon.

NEA said on Tuesday that the haze could be attributed to smoke plumes from the hot spots in southern Johor, blown in by the prevailing northeasterly winds.
