The weather condition is expected to be active in the coming days due to the combination of cold surge and local wind effect that leads to more moist atmospheric condition, and thus enhancing the development of rain clouds, said the Brunei Darussalam Meteorological Department (BDMD) in a statement yesterday.
The Sultanate is currently in the transition period which is expected to last until the end of this month.
During this period, local wind effects play an important role in governing the daily weather.
Active weather condition is forecast until November 20, with occasional heavy and thundery showers, especially over inland areas at late afternoon spreading towards coastal and sea areas at night and may prolong until morning.
Wind gust may reach up to 45 kilometres per hour during or near heavy and thundery showers.
Over Brunei waters, the sea state is generally slight to moderate, up to 1.5 metres.
The public is advised to take precautionary actions with respect to the forecast active weather condition.
There is a high 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. Risks of landslide and fallen trees are also possible during heavy showers and gusty condition.
Sea state is dangerous to all small boat operations, sea recreational activities and sports.
The public, road users and fishermen are advised to stay up-to-date with the latest weather forecast, advisory and warning issued by BDMD, and to take action to ensure safety.
