Brunei Darussalam is currently at the end of inter-monsoon period, where local wind effects play an important role in governing the daily weather, the Brunei Darussalam Meteorological Department said yesterday.
During the inter-monsoon period, the weather is generally fair in the morning.
Showers and thunderstorms occur mainly over the inland during the afternoon, and propagate towards coastal and sea areas at night, and at times prolonged to early morning of the following day.
Weather condition over the Sultanate is forecast to be active starting today until Sunday.
This is due to the active development of rain clouds over the region leading to the increase rainfall activity in the country.
Wind speed may increase up to 40 kilometres per hour during or near heavy showers or thunderstorms.
Meanwhile, over Brunei waters, sea state is at moderate, with wave heights reaching up to 1.5 metres during this weekend.
The public is advised to take precautionary actions with regard to the forecast active weather conditions.
The risk of falling trees and landslide is possible during heavy showers and gusty conditions.
There is risk of flash floods, especially at low-lying and flood prone areas as well as near river banks during heavy rain and also during high tide.
Public, including road users and fishermen, are advised to always be up to date with the latest weather forecast, advisory and warning issued, and to take action to ensure safety.
