In its daily haze situation update on Thursday, the National Environment Agency (NEA) had said that showers and variable winds are forecast over Singapore and the surrounding region for Friday and the weekend.
It added that this should keep the haze situation suppressed.
Meanwhile, with the onset of inter-monsoon conditions and more showers, the risk of transboundary haze has been reduced.
"As the risk of transboundary haze is expected to be low, Government agencies will be ceasing haze mitigation measures. The inter-agency Haze Task Force will also be stood down," NEA said.
This means that daily haze situation updates in the evenings, N95 haze mask distribution, and haze-related measures for outdoor workers will end on Nov 7. Haze shelters will also be closed.
Specific to haze mask distribution and haze shelters, these measure will end at 6pm.
Meanwhile, the haze subsidy scheme and public health preparedness clinic scheme (PHPC) will be stood down from Nov 12.
