The Singapore haze season 2026
Singapore's air quality has stabilized in the good-to-moderate range, with normal PM2.5 readings and a good-to-moderate 24-hour PSI islandwide as of October 27. This follows a turbulent period in which an 18-day stretch of unhealthy air ended October 22, briefly recurred October 24, and cleared again by October 25-26. The National Environment Agency continues to monitor conditions after the recent fluctuations between healthy and unhealthy readings.
