新加坡：周日（10月18日），新加坡西部空气质量仍处于非常不健康状态，全国其他四个地区的24小时污染物标准指数（PSI）读数仍处于不健康范围。
SINGAPORE: Air quality in western Singapore remained very unhealthy on Sunday (Oct 18), with the 24-hour Pollutant Standards Index (PSI) readings in the other four regions of the country staying in the unhealthy band.
上午7时，西部地区的24小时PSI读数为228，其他地区的读数在129至185之间。
At 7am, the 24-hour PSI reading in the west stood at 228, with readings in the other regions ranging from 129 to 185.
与此同时，全国范围内的小时PM2.5读数升高，介于78至125之间。
Hourly PM2.5 readings, meanwhile, were elevated across the country, ranging from 78 to 125.
国家环境局（NEA）周六发布的建议称，周日的24小时PSI预计将处于不健康至非常不健康的范围。
In an advisory on Saturday, the National Environment Agency (NEA) said that the 24-hour PSI is forecast to be in the unhealthy to very unhealthy range for Sunday.
国家环境局表示，由于东南风的影响，加里曼丹的火灾产生的烟雾霾周六继续飘向新加坡，并补充称还观察到苏门答腊上空有烟雾霾。
Smoke haze from fires in Kalimantan continued to drift towards Singapore on Saturday due to southeasterly winds, said NEA. It added that it also observed smoke haze over Sumatra.
国家环境局称，周日风向预计将转为吹自南偏东或南方向，这可能减少来自加里曼丹的烟雾霾向新加坡的输送，同时补充称，仍可能有部分来自苏门答腊的烟雾霾飘向新加坡。新加坡及其周边地区也可能出现降雨。
On Sunday, winds are forecast to shift to blow from the south-southeast or south, which may reduce the transport of smoke haze from Kalimantan to Singapore, said NEA, adding that some smoke haze from Sumatra may still drift towards Singapore. There will also likely be rain over Singapore and the surrounding region.
国家环境局表示：“周一和周二，新加坡及加里曼丹部分地区预计将有更多阵雨，风力预计将逐渐减弱并吹自东南或南方向。”
"On Monday and Tuesday, more showers are forecast over Singapore and parts of Kalimantan and winds (are) expected to gradually weaken and blow from the southeast or south," said NEA.
这同样可能进一步减少来自加里曼丹的烟雾霾向新加坡的输送，尽管仍可能有部分来自苏门答腊的烟雾霾飘向新加坡。
This could similarly further decrease the transport of smoke haze from Kalimantan to Singapore, although some smoke haze from Sumatra may drift towards Singapore.
周六早上早些时候，国家环境局警告称，跨境严重雾霾的风险仍在持续，预计南部东盟地区部分地区的干燥状况将在未来几天持续。
Earlier on Saturday morning, NEA warned of a continued risk of severe transboundary haze, with dry conditions expected to persist in parts of the southern ASEAN region over the coming days.
活动取消：所有ActiveSG体育设施周六恢复运营，此前一天曾因雾霾相关原因关闭。
EVENTS CANCELLED All ActiveSG sports facilities resumed operations on Saturday, following haze-related closures the day before.
然而，不可预测的雾霾条件促使主办方取消或推迟了多项户外活动，包括原定于周六举行的足总杯足球决赛及季军争夺战。
However, the unpredictable haze conditions have prompted organisers to cancel or postpone several outdoor events, including the FA Cup football final and third-place play-off scheduled for Saturday.
大东方女子跑原定于11月1日举行的赛事也已取消，而紫色游行——一年一度庆祝残障人士能力与贡献的活动——已推迟至2027年上半年举行。
The Great Eastern Women's Run originally scheduled for Nov 1, has also been cancelled, while The Purple Parade, an annual event celebrating the abilities and contributions of persons with disabilities, has been postponed to the first half of 2027.
在卫生部（MOH）最新的雾霾健康建议中，公众在决定是否为即时户外活动佩戴口罩时，应参考1小时PM2.5读数，而非24小时PSI指数。
Under the Ministry of Health's (MOH) latest haze advisory, members of the public are advised to refer to 1-hour PM2.5 readings, rather than the 24-hour PSI, when deciding whether to wear a mask for immediate outdoor activities.
MOH表示，易感人群——包括老年人、孕妇以及患有慢性心脏或肺部疾病者——应在小时PM2.5读数处于高浓度区间（151至250）时避免户外活动。
MOH said vulnerable individuals, including the elderly, pregnant women and those with chronic heart or lung conditions, should avoid outdoor activities when hourly PM2.5 readings are in the high band of 151 to 250.
若需进行即时户外活动，可佩戴贴合良好的N95口罩或同等防护口罩，以降低吸入雾霾颗粒的暴露程度。
Those who need to go outdoors for immediate activities may wear a well-fitting N95 mask or equivalent to reduce their exposure to haze particles.
当PM2.5读数达到甚高浓度区间（251及以上）时，即使是健康人士也应尽量减少所有户外活动。若需外出，同样可使用N95口罩进行防护。
When PM2.5 readings reach the very high band of 251 and above, healthy individuals should also minimise all outdoor activities. Those who need to venture outdoors may similarly use an N95 mask for protection.
然而，MOH指出，往返住家与学校或工作地点的通勤过程中，以及在室内环境中，通常不需要佩戴N95口罩。
However, MOH said N95 masks are generally not needed for commuting between home and school or work, or in indoor environments.
卫生部还提醒，老年人、孕妇以及患有严重心脏或肺部疾病且出现呼吸困难者，在使用N95口罩前应先咨询医生。佩戴口罩过程中若感到不适，应暂停使用。
The ministry also cautioned that elderly people, pregnant women and those with severe heart or lung conditions who experience breathing difficulties should consult their doctor before using an N95 mask. Those who experience discomfort while wearing one should take a break from using it.
除了N95口罩外，MOH表示，KN95、FFP2和KF94口罩同样能有效降低对雾霾颗粒的暴露。
Besides N95 masks, KN95, FFP2 and KF94 masks are also effective in reducing exposure to haze particles, MOH said.
