Smoke in the air

PSI 30 to 40 right now? My a.s! I can actually see the smoke - pardon haze - in front of my house... And smell it!
The NEA information on their website is a joke.
So this probably should be moved in rant forum as there is no chance of improvement...

The PSI doesn't just measure particulate matter, but takes account of all sorts of gassy type stuff too .. blah etc blah etc

The psi has been raised now to above 50. Does seem a little late and a little low.

Saw this update on the NEA website:

Hazy Conditions Update

(Updated on 19 Apr 2013)

Since 1pm today, conditions have been hazy and members of the public have given feedback on a burning smell across many parts of Singapore. The haziness and burning smell are from the fires in Sumatra, brought over by prevailing winds blowing from the southwest or west.

Since 17 April, satellite images showed smoke plumes originating from hotspots in Riau province being blown towards Singapore by the prevailing winds. The winds are forecast to occasionally blow from the southwest or west for the next few days. During this period, hazy conditions are expected occasionally.

The PSI reading as at 4pm today is in the range of 28 – 43, which is in the good range. The public can also access PSI updates through the following channels:
