Slightly hazy conditions could hit Singapore sporadically over the next two weeks due to prevailing wind conditions and periods of consecutive dry days that are usually seen during the current South-west Monsoon season.

Winds are expected to continue to blow from the south-southeast or the south-west — where Sumatra lies — the regular fortnightly weather outlook the National Environment Agency (NEA) posted on its website yesterday showed.

In its daily haze advisory, the NEA said seven hot spots were detected in Sumatra yesterday, down from the 80 spotted on Monday when the Pollutant Standards Index (PSI) crept into the low end of the unhealthy range.

Nevertheless, widespread smoke haze was observed over the southern and central areas of Sumatra, it noted.
