Haze watch: PSI across Singapore remains unhealthy, PM2.5 improves in northern and southern regions

The 2026 Formula 1 Singapore Grand Prix may be over, with Red Bull Racing's Max Verstappen conquering the Marina Bay Street Circuit, but the haze is still here.

At 9am, PSI remains in the unhealthy range across Singapore, ranging from 104 in the northern region to 148 in the western region.

The next highest recordings were recorded in central (146) and eastern (133) Singapore.

Meanwhile, one-hour PM2.5 is back in the normal band in the southern (44) and northern (53) regions, but remains elevated in western (106), central (80) and eastern (66) Singapore.

PSI, weather forecast

In its daily haze situation update on Sunday evening , the National Environment Agency said the 24-hour PSI is forecast to be in the unhealthy range.

It explained that the prevailing south-easterly or southerly winds means smoke haze from southern Sumatra and west Kalimantan could continue to affect Singapore.

Data from the ASEAN Specialised Meteorological Centre on Oct 11 shows 212 hotspots in Kalimantan, with another 16 in Sumatra.

Thundery showers are expected over the northern and western areas of Singapore on Monday afternoon, which could bring some respite for residents there.

Haze Subsidy Scheme begins on Oct 12

Health Minister Ong Ye Kung announced that the Ministry of Health will be activating both the Public Health Preparedness Clinic (PHPC) scheme and the Haze Subsidy Scheme on Oct 12.

The schemes will help Singaporeans with their haze-related medical needs given the deterioration in air quality, the Ministry of Health said in a press release on Sunday.

It comes as Singapore is seeing a rising number of people seeking treatment for respiratory ailments as haze conditions worsen.

It is also the latest in a series of announcements since Friday, after the Government's Haze Task Force (HTF) announced its next tier of action plans and advisories to protect the health and well-being of the public, especially vulnerable groups including the elderly, pregnant women, children, and those with chronic lung and heart conditions.

2026 年一级方程式新加坡大奖赛虽然已经结束，红牛车队的马克斯·维斯塔潘征服了滨海湾街道赛道，但雾霾仍然存在。

上午 9 点，新加坡各地的 PSI 指数仍处于不健康范围内，北部地区的指数为 104，西部地区的指数为 148。

其次，新加坡中部（146）和东部（133）的记录最为显著。

与此同时，新加坡南部（44）和北部（53）地区的一小时 PM2.5 浓度已恢复到正常水平，但西部（106）、中部（80）和东部（66）地区的 PM2.5 浓度仍然偏高。

PSI，天气预报

国家环境局在周日晚间发布的每日雾霾情况更新中表示，预计24小时空气污染指数（PSI）将处于不健康范围。

报告解释说，盛行的东南风或南风意味着来自苏门答腊南部和加里曼丹西部的烟雾可能会继续影响新加坡。

东盟专业气象中心 10 月 11 日的数据显示，加里曼丹有 212 个热点地区，苏门答腊另有 16 个热点地区。

预计周一下午新加坡北部和西部地区将有雷阵雨，这可能会给当地居民带来一些喘息之机。

雾霾补贴计划将于10月12日开始

卫生部长王乙康宣布，卫生部将于10月12日启动公共卫生应急诊所计划和雾霾补贴计划。

卫生部周日在一份新闻稿中表示，鉴于空气质量恶化，这些计划将帮助新加坡人满足与雾霾相关的医疗需求。

随着雾霾情况恶化，新加坡寻求呼吸系统疾病治疗的人数不断增加。

这是自上周五以来一系列公告中的最新一项。此前，政府的雾霾工作组 (HTF) 宣布了下一阶段的行动计划和建议，以保护公众的健康和福祉，特别是包括老年人、孕妇、儿童以及患有慢性肺病和心脏病的弱势群体。
