The\u00a0 Pollutant Standards Index (PSI) hit 401 on 21 Jun 13.\u00a0 A record of sorts.\u00a0 Everything outside was shrouded in the haze, courtesy of the regular slash and burn forest clearing in Sumatra, Indonesia<\/p>\n
So what did you do when the haze hit Singapore?\u00a0 The PSI started climbing up from 14 Jun to a massive 401 on 21 Jun. Well for my family and me, we kept mainly indoors.\u00a0 To prevent the foul air from coming in the windows were kept tightly closed.\u00a0 The build up heat quickly became unbearable and we turned on the air con nearly every night and nearly the whole day on Sat 22 Jun.\u00a0 This is notable as we have always relied on fans for air circulation and cooling through the year. \u00a0 We only run the air con once or twice a year.<\/p>\n
The haze go so bad that the swimming pool was closed and all activities, indoor outdoor activities at the community centre were cancelled.<\/p>\n
Air purifiers were hot items, they were sold out at all stores.\u00a0 Demand for N95 masks shot through the roof.\u00a0 I don’t know why anyone bother as most do not put the masks properly.\u00a0 The Health Ministry released 4 million masks through People’s Association to calm things down. link<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The\u00a0 Pollutant Standards Index (PSI) hit 401 on 21 Jun 13.\u00a0 A record of sorts.\u00a0 Everything outside was shrouded in the haze, courtesy of the regular slash and burn forest clearing in Sumatra, Indonesia So what did you do when… <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":2279,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[301,302],"class_list":["post-2278","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-family","tag-sghaze","tag-weather"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.alfredivy.sg\/blogger\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2278","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.alfredivy.sg\/blogger\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.alfredivy.sg\/blogger\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.alfredivy.sg\/blogger\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.alfredivy.sg\/blogger\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2278"}],"version-history":[{"count":7,"href":"https:\/\/www.alfredivy.sg\/blogger\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2278\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2295,"href":"https:\/\/www.alfredivy.sg\/blogger\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2278\/revisions\/2295"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.alfredivy.sg\/blogger\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2279"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.alfredivy.sg\/blogger\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2278"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.alfredivy.sg\/blogger\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2278"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.alfredivy.sg\/blogger\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2278"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
