SINGAPORE — Hazy conditions in Singapore on the morning of March 26 were likely due to the accumulation of particulate matter under light wind conditions over Singapore, said the weatherman. «The situation is expected to improve in the afternoon as winds strengthen,» added a spokesman from the National Environment Agency (NEA) in response to queries from The Straits Times.

NEA said it is closely monitoring the situation and will issue updates if required. Read more
