Tropical Storm Yagi is expected to indirectly influence the weather in Brunei Darussalam, said the meteorological department on Monday.
“As of 11am on Monday, Tropical Storm Yagi was observed at coordinates 15.2°N 122.6°E, near Northern Philippines, approximately 1400 kilometres away from Brunei Darussalam,” said the Brunei Darussalam Meteorological Department on Monday.
“Tropical Storm Yagi is forecast to move Northwestwards and away from our country,” said the department.
The department said the Sultanate is expected to have slightly windy conditions in the next few days, with showers or thundershowers, especially at sea.
The department noted that windspeeds can reach up to 50-kilometres per hour during or near heavy thundershowers. Meanwhile, the sea condition over Brunei waters is generally at slight to moderate state, with wave heights of 0.7 metres to 1.2 metres.
The department advised the public to take precautionary actions with respect to the forecast active weather condition. Sea condition is dangerous to small boat operations during gusty showers conditions.
Public, road users and fishermen are advised to always be up to date with the latest weather forecast, advisory and warning issued by Brunei Darussalam Meteorological Department, and to take necessary actions to ensure safety.
