Singapore Monitors Haze Levels as Smoke Drifts from Sumatra
The National Environment Agency (NEA) has issued an update regarding the air quality in Singapore as of 9 October 2026. Authorities have observed moderate to dense smoke haze drifting towards the island from southern and central Sumatra, Indonesia.
This haze is caused by smoke moving across the region, which has also been detected in other parts of the area. The NEA is currently monitoring the situation closely to determine how it might affect the air quality and visibility across Singapore in the coming days.
While the haze levels are being tracked, the agency has not yet issued specific health advisories for the general public. However, residents are encouraged to stay updated through official channels for any changes in the air quality readings.
In the meantime, the public is advised to keep an eye on the official NEA website or mobile application for the latest 24-hour Pollutant Standards Index (PSI) readings. Staying informed will help residents take necessary precautions if the air quality reaches unhealthy levels.
