Singapore, Indonesia, Malaysia to face 'severe' haze in coming months

Singapore, Indonesia, and Malaysia are projected to experience severe haze in the coming months. This atmospheric phenomenon occurs inconsistently across different years, but when present, it drifts across the Strait of Malacca. The resulting haze can persist for several weeks, significantly affecting the air quality over major urban centers, including Singapore and Kuala Lumpur. These regions remain vulnerable to the recurring environmental impact of drifting smoke and pollutants within the Southeast Asian corridor.
