The prolonged dry spell experienced in Singapore during late phase of the Northeast Monsoon also affected the surrounding regions and resulted in an increase in hotspot activities in central Sumatra and Malaysia, including southern Johore. The prevailing north-easterly winds then blew the smoke haze from the hotspots in southern Johor towards Singapore on several days from 7 to 15 March. PSI readings hit the Moderate range during this period.
