Since we've arrived in Singapore the weather has been so so. While temperature was always warm, the sky was pretty grey. Today over lunch a colleague of mine told me that we are in that time of the year called "the haze".
Quid?
Every year in the first half of September, people are burning lands in Sumatra.This creates some smoke that travels around. If the wind blows towards Singapore, then the island ends up with a smoky cloudy sky.
Based on a quick Internet research I found out that the air pollution from Indonesian forest fires has become a recurring problem in the region, especially during this time of year.
There is nothing one can do about it, except wait that it passes and limit outdoor activities the days when the pollution is the worst.
Let's hope the blue sky will be back soon.
