SINGAPOREANS in many parts of the island woke up to a hazy morning on Thursday.
A grey misty shroud blanketed highrise buildings, recalling the days of the dreaded haze.
Said a spokeman for the National Environment Agency (NEA) on Thursday afternoon: 'The slight haziness this morning is attributed to the poor dispersion of particulate matter in the air under light wind conditions.
'The situation may improve later in the day as the temperature rises and the winds strengthen.'
The air quality was rated good as at 4 pm on Wednesday, according to the Pollutant Standards Index (PSI) reading on the NEA website.
Burning in Indonesia has started and hundreds of hotspots have appeared in Kalimantan and the Riau islands, reported the Indonesian meteorological service.
