General Situation:

Brunei Darussalam is currently in the inter-monsoon period, where local wind effects play an important role in governing our daily weather.

For the past few days, our country has been experiencing fair and hot weather during the day with isolated coastal showers occurring around midday. Whereas in the afternoon, isolated showers or thundershowers also occurred over inland areas and spread to few coastal and sea areas later at night.

Based on our climatological records, the average maximum temperature for Brunei Darussalam is 32.7°C for the month of April. As of today, the Brunei International Airport Meteorological Observation Station, Brunei Darussalam Meteorological Department had recorded maximum daily temperature of between 31°C to 33°C for this month.

Brunei Darussalam Weather Situation:

Weather condition over Brunei Darussalam is forecasted to be active on Sunday (16th April 2023) until Monday (17th April 2023) due to the presence of the low pressure system near our region. It will cause unstable and moist atmospheric conditions which are favorable for the development of rain clouds and it can also bring about windy conditions which can be gusty at times, especially during the crossing of heavy showers over our country.

Showers, occasionally heavy and thundery, are expected to affect several areas of the country. Wind gust may reach up to 40 km/h during or near heavy and thundery showers.

Over Brunei waters, sea condition is generally at slight state, with wave height of 0.3-0.6 m.
