The title of this post is the current headline in the "Straits Times" online edition. It's pretty shocking! The PSI index reached a peak of 371 at 1 PM today (Thursday). Anything above 300 is rated "hazardous." The range 200-300 is considered "very unhealthy." Values of 100-200 are rated "unhealthy."
This morning, the haze was clearly (pun intended) thicker than it has been on any day during this episode. At its worst, the visual range was less than 3 km (2 miles), because I could no longer see our building from where I work.
Here is how it looked earlier today. The farthest objects that you can just make out on the horizon in these shots are barely a mile from where the photos are being shot!

Wow! That looks terrible. Do you just have to stay inside all day? Are you wearing masks? Is it making your eyes and throat itch/burn?
