The haze has returned to Singapore after a day of relatively clear skies, as air quality broke into the 'moderate' range on Sunday evening.
As of 6pm, the Pollutant Standards Index's (PSI) three-hour reading stood at 54, up from the 24 it registered at 9am.
According to the National Environment Agency's (NEA) website, all persons - regardless of age or health conditions - can continue to take part in normal activities during good and moderate PSI levels.
In a haze situation update on March 8, the NEA said that the haze could be due to the prevailing northeasterly winds bringing in the smoke from hotspots north of Singapore. A total of 14 hotspots were detected in peninsular Malaysia and 129 in Sumatra then.
