Weather reports say winds changing direction back tomorrow... Haze will be back with us before you know it...
We are clearly not out of the (hot) water yet.
..... they have to clean their own backsides first mah ..... it has been revealed that eight of the firms responsible for the Sumatran fires were registered in Malaysia ..... haha
For Indonesians, Friday and mainly Saturday (like our Sunday) are days of rest ......... probably a short break before they start burning again ....... touch wood ..... it either this or ......
3 days after Obama made his last call to Bambang .......
Obama: Bro, so how was the BBQ you had prepared for Singapore?
Bambang: Our friends from Singapore complained that the smoke from the BBQ was too pungent and made it difficult for them to breathe. We had no choice but to douse the fire and postpone the event ......
Obama: .....so what about all the food that were brought to you?
Bambang: Obviously we could not let them go waste.......burp ...burp....excuse me ......
......... to be continued

it's good to see that. while families which are financially capable are complaining, the government is actually assisting those who need it the most first.

Met Service officer mentioned during our aviation meteorological briefing that there's perhaps a definite link between airborne aerosols and atmospheric particulate matter such as pm10 and pm2.5 increasing intensity of thunderstorm cells as the size of water droplets coalescing in clouds decreases due to aforementioned factors thus rising higher and higher up the stratosphere than usual in a maturing cumulus / cumulonimbus cloud formation before freezing into hails, releasing additional latent heat energy from enthalpy of fusion thus invigorating the cycle till the convective system dissipate its energy in intensity.
This was my general understanding.

Mr Tommy Koh wrote a very well written article in today's newspaper on this subject on how we can tackle the haze. With his connections and social standing, I hope follow up actions will be done.
Many Singaporeans feel the problem is resolved after a few days of haze free sky. The fact that our government keeps reminding us to embrace ourselves for 'possible' haze in the coming days, weeks or even months ahead tell us it is there. We need to work on a more 'permanent' solutions that are within our control.
Among them, we have to include how to cope when the haze return (just like H1N1). International pressure and government actions on those responsible directly or indirectly will be the most effective and important aspect to mitigate the haze. Everyone living here has a part to play and this is for your generations to come. To the 5 million Singaporeans and our FTs living here, your actions will determine if the haze will return or not.

Sadly, it has been like that for donkey years ... people complained and then forgot about it shortly after ... i guess when it start to "snow" here then perhaps people will get really worry :bsmilie:
Permanent solution? U mean like stopping who is "sponsoring" these actions?

That may be true but nearly 50 years ago I also experienced a thunderstorm in Singapore, at Tanjong Rhu in fact, where there were hailstones. Certainly no haze during those days and Singapore then was cooler than nowadays.

From time to time, I was told. Similar systems also produced tornadoes, "Rear Flank Downdraft (RFD)" of "mesocyclone" in cumulonimbus much akeen to lesser "supercell" formation.
Tossed several shipping containers into the air at Jurong.
