Fresh on the heels of last week's false alarm comes another whopper: We're in for a red alert for bad air beginning at 8pm tomorrow (Friday) night, and this time around even more cars are being removed from the roads.

Forecasters are expecting this pollution to be the worst that has hit the capital for the past several months.

The warning was issued today (Dec 15) at 1pm and takes effect starting from Friday, December 16 at 8pm and will last through to Tuesday, December 20 – a four-day batch of deadly pollution that is sure to dampen your spirits that were uplifted today by the beautiful air.
