Singapore Haze hits the Record High of 371

I thought it was bad when the PSI reading hit 290 last night but today at 1 pm, it has soared to 371, another record breaking in Singapore history.

PSI Reading from NEA

All the newspaper have a big headline screaming how high the PSI is but again there is no solution given by any authorities.

At 2 pm, the PSI reading has reduced to 355 but it is still very smoky and visibility is low.

I already felt drowsy and tired when the PSI was 290 yesterday night but when it was 371, I feel my body is weak and head is heavy. I cannot focus on any activity, let alone working! I worry my 70-year mum cannot take it as she looks lethargic these few days but we have nowhere to go. The government told us to stay indoor as the haze has reached hazardous level but we feel equally choke as outside. I regret not installing air-con as I always think it is a "wants" not "needs" and also afraid my family members will abuse the air-con and give me heart attack when seeing the monthly utility bill.

Looking at the response from the Indonesian authorities, I do not expect much from them. The only thing is to pray hard, hopefully the Rain God will give us some heavy downpour and flood the Sumatra!
