Brunei is currently towards the end of Southwest Monsoon period, where southwesterly wind surge is still dominant with stable atmospheric conditions.
However, weather conditions for the last few days were active due to the indirect influence of typhoon systems affecting over the Northwest of the Pacific Ocean, the Brunei Darussalam Meteorological Department (BDMD) stated.
Active weather conditions are fore-cast this week, especially today and tomorrow, due to an active development of rain clouds and potentially causing occasional squally showers over
our country.
Squally showers are expected to affect the country occasionally, especially over the sea areas and are likely to spread to the land areas. The wind speed may increase up to 50 kilometres per hour.
Over Brunei waters, the sea state is generally slight, between 0.4 metres to 1.0 metres. The public is advised to take precautionary action following the forecast active weather condition.
There is risk of flash floods, especially at low-lying and flood prone areas as well as near the river banks during continuous heavy rain and also during high tide. The risk of landslide and falling trees are also possible during heavy showers and gusty condition.
Public, road users and fishermen are advised to be up to date with the latest weather forecast, advisory and warning issued by BDMD, and to take action to ensure safety.
