Missing The Bright Blue Sky
We used to have this BRIGHT BLUE SKY most of the time in Singapore.
But not all the time we appreciate it.
We complain it is too HOT, SUNNY or whatever it is.
Once in a while, we wish for some cooling weather and rainy days.
Now, Singapore’s sky is enveloped in HAZE due to forest fires in Sumatra, Indonesia.
I believe our neighbours in Malaysia and Indonesia experience it too.
Sigh, this problem comes back and affects us badly once in a few years and it shows, despite the distance, how actions in our neighbouring countries can affect us too.
Our daily lives are affected and those with health problems can become more adversely affected than anyone else.
The worst is, we can just wait for it to go away and check PSIs.
It is the period of school examinations again for our kids in Singapore and sigh……
Anyway, click to read a latest report relating to this HAZE.
We wish for rain and a bright blue sky again SOON.
[Something that we tend to take for granted in brighter days.]
I extracted this health advisory:
“Persons with existing heart or respiratory ailments should reduce physical exertion and outdoor activity.”
Not only in Singapore but over here in Malaysia too, at least in my town.. but thank God for the heavy rain yesterday, today is brighter… hope the haze has gone!
Hi Claire,
I am glad that the PSI has dropped to good level:)
