Nice clear weather with a chance of hail

In the west, we have reports of small sized hail coming down from the sky. Wow. I wonder if that is the first time on our island that we had reports of hail. If the east side rains hail, I will definitely take some video of it.

Anyway, as mention in an earlier post, NEA has changed it reporting format. So people have gone out to look for other sources of PSI and the like. One that is quite good I find is this. It provides hours updates and even the different regions in Singapore. Pretty good and it even has widgets for various OS like Android and iOS. Go get it if you want track the air quality around the island.

Another strange thing is the regional haze map on NEA's website has stopped updating from 23rd June 2013. Not sure if it is an oversight but after some digging, I found it under the Meteorological Service of Singapore. We can see that the south-easterly winds seem to be weakening. So maybe even as early as tomorrow we might be in the less dense haze cloud. Ouch. What is equally troubling is that the hotspots have increased dramatically though NEA statement on that is one major contributing factor could be they are now recording those that were previously undetected.
