A short spell of rain yesterday brought much needed respite to the people amid hot weather conditions in the Sultanate.
Last week, the Brunei Darussalam Meteorological Department said the Sultanate was transitioning from the inter-monsoon phase to southwest monsoon on the final week of May. Typically, it continued, southwest monsoon persists until September.
Atmospheric conditions in the southwest monsoon phase tend to be quite stable with minimal thundershowers.
Southwest monsoon is also synonym with the season of active development of tropical storm and typhoon systems over the northwest Pacific Ocean and South China Sea, it added.
