Singapore - Haze

Sumatran Forest Fires to Blame
Just when my basil sprouts the haze appears.  Murphy's law.  Visibility is low but it's not at an unhealthy level yet.  The sun was out there this morning as I watched the Giants lose to the Cowboys but it could barely be seen.


This is the dry season and it's been dryer than normal in Sumatra, to the west.  They're blaming el nino.  As a result there are more than 700 forest fires going and the smoke is drifting east to Singapore and peninsular Malaysia.  On the plus side, it's slightly cooler.
