Singapore, 5 November 2026 – The haze situation for Singapore has improved with the establishment of inter-monsoon conditions and more showers. The hotspot and haze situation in the region has also improved.

2    As the risk of transboundary haze is expected to be low, Government agencies will be ceasing haze mitigation measures. The inter-agency Haze Task Force will also be stood down.

Cessation of Haze Mitigation Measures

Daily Haze Advisories

3    The National Environment Agency (NEA) will issue its final haze situation update for this haze season and most haze mitigation measures taken by Singapore government agencies will cease on Saturday, 7 November 2026.

Mask Distribution

4    Distribution of N95 or equivalent masks through PA Community Clubs (CCs) and vending machines at selected public transport hubs, Social Service Offices and PA venues will conclude at 6.00pm on 7 November 2026.

Haze Shelters

5    Air-conditioned rooms at CCs and selected Residents’ Committee (RC) and Residents’ Network (RN) Centres that are designated as haze shelters will also close at 6.00pm on 7 November 2026.

Haze Subsidy Scheme

6    The Ministry of Health (MOH) will be deactivating both the Public Health Preparedness Clinic (PHPC) Scheme and the Haze Subsidy Scheme (HSS) from 12 November 2026.

Haze-Related Measures for Outdoor Workers

7    With the improvement in air quality conditions, MOM will stand down its haze-related measures for outdoor workers from 7 November 2026. Employers may resume outdoor work without the additional haze-related precautions.

Forecast

8 The PSI forecast for 6 Nov 2026 is 51 – 80 (Moderate). The PSI forecast and corresponding health advisories should be used for planning next day outdoor activities.

9    For immediate outdoor activities, please check the 1-hr PM2.5 concentration readings and personal guide on our haze microsite (www.haze.gov.sg) or mobile app (myENV).

Update on Hotspot and Haze Situation

10    Showers fell over many areas of Singapore today. As at 5pm, the 1-hr PM2.5 concentration readings were 5 – 18 µg/m³, in (Band 1, Normal), and the 24-hr PSI was 57 – 66, in the Moderate range. Moderate to dense smoke plumes were observed but confined to southern Kalimantan.

11    For tomorrow and the weekend, showers and variable winds over Singapore and the surrounding region should keep the haze situation suppressed.

Activity Guidelines

12    The health impact of haze is dependent on one’s health status, the PSI level, and the length and intensity of outdoor activity.

For information on the distribution of hotspots detected over the past fortnight in the region, please refer to the ASEAN Specialised Meteorological Centre (ASMC) website at http://asmc.asean.org.

Areas with lighter smoke haze are not indicated as they cannot be clearly discerned from satellite imagery. The full extent of the hotspot and smoke haze situation could not be determined due to extensive cloud cover.

Update on Hotspot and Haze Situation

4    Some showers fell over parts of northern, eastern and western Singapore today. As at 5pm, the 1-hr PM2.5 concentration readings were 17 – 45 µg/m³, in (Band 1, Normal), and the 24-hr PSI was 60 – 69, in the Moderate range. Moderate to dense smoke plumes were observed in southern Kalimantan.

5    From tomorrow to Saturday, winds are expected to be generally light and variable and showers are forecast over Sumatra, Kalimantan, Singapore and the surrounding region. This would limit the transport of smoke haze towards Singapore.

Update on Hotspot and Haze Situation

4    Showers fell over many areas of Singapore today. As at 7pm, the 1-hr PM2.5 concentration readings were 14 – 28µg/m³, in (Band 1, Normal), and the 24-hr PSI was 68 – 77, in the Moderate range. Moderate to dense smoke haze was observed over Kalimantan.

5    For tomorrow, showers are expected over Sumatra, Kalimantan and Singapore and the surrounding region, which should help to keep the haze situation suppressed for Singapore.

6    With the onset of inter-monsoon conditions, the haze situation is expected to improve. During the inter-monsoon period, the winds are light and variable, and less likely to transport smoke haze towards Singapore. Increased showers are also expected which would help the haze situation.

Update on Hotspot and Haze Situation

4    Showers fell over many areas of Singapore today. As at 5pm, the 1-hr PM2.5 concentration readings were 13 – 27µg/m³, in (Band 1, Normal), and the 24-hr PSI was 66 – 78, in the Moderate range. Slight smoke haze was observed in the vicinity of Singapore, and moderate haze continued to be observed over parts of Kalimantan.

5    For tomorrow, showers are expected over Sumatra, Singapore and the surrounding region, which should help to keep the regional haze situation suppressed. While drier conditions may return over parts of Kalimantan, smoke haze from the area is unlikely to drift towards Singapore due to favourable winds.

6    For Friday and Saturday, southeasterly to southwesterly winds are expected. However, showers are expected over the region which could help with the haze situation.

4    It was dry over Singapore today. As at 6pm, the 1-hr PM2.5 concentration readings were 19 – 37µg/m³, in (Band 1, Normal), and the 24-hr PSI was 62 – 76, in the Moderate range. Smoke haze was observed over Kalimantan and Sumatra.

5    For tomorrow, the winds are forecast to blow from the east-northeast. Showers are expected over Kalimantan, Sumatra and Singapore and surrounding region which could continue to help with the haze situation.

6    The winds are expected to blow from the east-southeast or south-southeast on Thursday and Friday. While this could transport smoke haze from southern Sumatra, showers are forecast over the region which should help to lower the risk of haze.
