General Situation:

Brunei Darussalam is still in the Southwest Monsoon season.

At the beginning of this week, the weather in our country was influenced by local wind effects with the development of
thundershowers over the inland areas in the afternoon, crossing the country and moving out towards the sea at night.

Brunei Darussalam Situation:

Currently, there is a low pressure system over South China Sea which would normally influence our weather condition to become active and expected to start today (19 August 2021) until next Tuesday (24 August 2021).

Generally, the weather condition is expected to be unsettled with occasional heavy showers, thundery at times and
strong wind with speed reaching up to 45 km/h.

Over Brunei waters, sea state is expected to reach 1.0 m during showers.
