PUBLISHED ONApril 01, 2026 12:53 PMBYSean LerSingaporeans may continue to notice a burning smell over the next few days as the risk of transboundary smoke haze affecting Singapore continues, said the National Environment Agency (NEA) on Wednesday (April 1).
In an update posted just before 7pm, the agency said it has continued to observe hotspots with smoke plumes in eastern Johor on Wednesday.
It added that there is a "continued risk" of transboundary smoke haze affecting Singapore over the next few days due to the prevailing north-easterly winds and dry conditions.
"As smoke plumes drift towards Singapore, 1-hour PM2.5 levels may rise in some areas, depending on localised wind conditions," the agency said.
Those who intend to participate in outdoor activities should check the 1-hour PM2.5 readings on the NEA website or the myENV app.
As at 7pm, the 24-hour Pollutant Standard Index (PSI) is between 44 and 60, within the good to moderate range.
