SINGAPORE: There was slight haziness in parts of Singapore on Wednesday morning (Jan 21), but it was not due to an increase in hotspot activities from neighbouring countries, met services said.
A Meteorological Service Singapore spokesperson said it was due to a "weakening of winds overnight, which led to an accumulation of particulate matter in the atmosphere".
"The low level winds are expected to continue to blow predominantly from the northeast for the next two months," the spokesperson said.
Three-hour PSI readings hit a high of 63 between 9am and 11am on Wednesday, and remained in the Moderate range for the rest of the day,
