SINGAPORE: Haze conditions in Singapore are expected to improve as the inter-monsoon period sets in, the Meteorological Service Singapore said on Thursday (Oct 29).

Inter-monsoon conditions have been progressively setting in over Singapore and the surrounding region with the weakening of the southwest monsoon, the Met Service said.

The inter-monsoon period is characterised by light and variable winds, as well as increased showers and higher lightning activity.

“With the shift from persistent southeasterly or southwesterly winds to light and variable winds in the surrounding region, smoke haze is less likely to be transported from fires towards Singapore,” the Met Service said.

Hourly PM2.5 readings were also in the normal range across the country, although levels briefly crossed into the elevated range in the west on Thursday morning. In its haze outlook on Thursday morning, NEA said the hotspot and smoke haze situation in the region remained subdued. "The hotspot and smoke haze situation may improve in areas experiencing showers but also continue to stay elevated in areas experiencing prolonged periods of dry weather, with a risk of transboundary haze occurrence," NEA said in its haze outlook. The agency added that southeasterly to southwesterly winds are expected on Friday and Saturday, although showers are expected over the region which could help with the haze situation. In the first fortnight of November, moderate to thundery showers are expected over parts of Singapore in the afternoon on most days. The showers may extend into the evening on a few of these days, the Met service said. The total rainfall for the first fortnight of November 2026 is forecast to be slightly above its long-term average over most parts of the island. Daily maximum temperatures are expected to range between 33°C and 35°C on most days and could slightly exceed 35°C on a few days.

新加坡：新加坡气象局周四（10月29日）表示，随着季风间歇期的到来，新加坡的雾霾情况预计将会改善。

气象局表示，随着西南季风减弱，新加坡及其周边地区逐渐进入季风间歇期。

季风间歇期的特点是风力较小且变化无常，降雨增多，闪电活动也更加频繁。

“随着周边地区持续的东南风或西南风转变为微弱且多变的风，火灾产生的烟雾不太可能被输送到新加坡，”气象局表示。

国家环境局在其雾霾展望中表示：“降雨地区的热点和烟霾情况可能会有所改善，但持续干旱地区的热点和烟霾情况仍将居高不下，存在发生跨境雾霾的风险。”

该机构补充说，预计周五和周六将刮东南风至西南风，不过该地区预计会有阵雨，这可能有助于缓解雾霾情况。

11 月的前两周，新加坡部分地区大部分时间下午都会有中到雷阵雨。
