In its Wednesday evening advisory, the National Environment Agency (NEA) said that dense smoke haze from fires in Kalimantan was observed to drift towards Singapore under prevailing southeasterly winds.
It added that smoke haze was expected to continue drifting towards Singapore overnight and into Thursday as winds prevailed.
"While some showers are forecast over Singapore and parts of the surrounding region tomorrow, dry conditions are expected to persist over parts of southern Sumatra and Kalimantan," NEA said.
Singapore's 24-hour PSI was forecast to be in the unhealthy to very unhealthy range.
Given that PM2.5 levels have reached the very high range and taking into consideration that the 24-hour PSI may enter the very unhealthy range, the government began the phased distribution of N95 masks at community clubs and haze mask vending machines at selected public transport hubs, social service offices and People's Association venues, NEA said.
N95 masks will be made available progressively at designated collection points and may not be immediately available at all locations, the agency added.
"The vending machines are being progressively deployed across the island from this evening and stocks will be replenished progressively and regularly," it said.
Members of the public can visit the HazeMaskGoWhere website for more information on collection locations and live updates on mask availability at the vending machines.
"Members of the public are encouraged to check the website for availability before heading to a collection point."
NEA also noted that N95 masks may be unavailable at some retail outlets due to a spike in demand, but said that "there are sufficient stocks of N95 masks in retailers' warehouses and government stockpiles".
"The Haze Task Force is working closely with retailers to replenish stocks and ensure the availability of N95 masks to the public.

新加坡国家环境局（NEA）在周三晚间的公告中表示，加里曼丹岛火灾产生的浓烟在盛行的东南风作用下向新加坡飘移。
报告还指出，受风向影响，预计烟雾将在夜间和周四继续向新加坡方向飘移。
新加坡国家环境局表示：“虽然预计明天新加坡及周边地区会有阵雨，但苏门答腊南部和加里曼丹部分地区仍将保持干燥天气。”
新加坡24小时空气污染指数预计将处于不健康到非常不健康的范围内。
鉴于 PM2.5 浓度已达到非常高的水平，并考虑到 24 小时空气污染指数 (PSI) 可能进入非常不健康的水平，国家环境局表示，政府已开始在民众俱乐部分阶段分发 N95 口罩，并在指定的公共交通枢纽、社会服务办公室和人民协会场所设置雾霾口罩自动售货机。
该机构补充说，N95口罩将逐步在指定的领取点提供，但可能不会立即在所有地点都有供应。
声明称：“从今晚开始，自动售货机将逐步部署在全岛各地，商品也将逐步定期补充。”
公众可以访问 HazeMaskGoWhere 网站，了解更多关于口罩收集地点和自动售货机口罩供应情况的实时更新信息。
“我们鼓励公众在前往领取点之前，先查看网站上的领取情况。”
国家环境局还指出，由于需求激增，一些零售店可能买不到 N95 口罩，但表示“零售商的仓库和政府储备中有足够的 N95 口罩”。
“雾霾应对小组正与零售商密切合作，补充库存，确保公众能够获得 N95 口罩。
