General Situation:
Brunei Darussalam is currently in the first phase of the Northeast Monsoon, where generally unsettled weather conditions with showers or thunderstorms, heavy at times, are expected especially at night until early morning.
Brunei Darussalam Weather Situation:
Weather condition over Brunei Darussalam is forecasted to be active starting today, Saturday (10th December 2022) until Tuesday (13th December 2022). This is due to the low pressure near Philippines that cause Southwesterly wind to bring showers, which can be heavy and gusty at times, crossing our country. The influence of Northeasterly surge also enhances the development of rain clouds and thus increases rainfall activity in our country.
Wind speed may increase up to 45 km/h during or near heavy showers or thunderstorms.
Meanwhile, over Brunei Waters, sea state is at slight to moderate, with wave heights below 1.5 m.
Our Advice:
Members of the public are advised to take precautionary actions with respect to the forecasted active weather conditions. Risk of falling trees and landslide are 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 the river banks during heavy rain and also during high tide.
Public, including road users and also 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.
We shall continue to monitor the weather conditions and will issue weather advisories or warnings if necessary.
