  1. Follow-up: Singapore air improves as three regions' PSI returns to 'moderate' for first time in nine days

    Haze from Indonesian forest fires had kept Singapore's air 'unhealthy' for days. CNA reported that on the morning of Oct 19, 24-hour PSI in the north, south and east fell into the 'moderate' range, first in the north at 1 am — the first moderate readings anywhere since Oct 9; by noon PSI ranged from 85 in the north to 122 in the west, still 'unhealthy' in the west. Hourly PM2.5 across five regions was in the normal range at noon. NEA had forecast overnight on Oct 18 that Oct 19's 24-hour PSI would still be 101–190 unhealthy. New BNPB chief Kristomei Sianturi said on Oct 18 dry-ice cloud seeding tried twice in South Sumatra was 'fairly effective' and expansion to more fire-hit areas is being considered.
