1. General Weather Situation

Brunei Darussalam has entered the inter-monsoon period which is the transition period after the Southwest Monsoon and before entering the Northeast Monsoon. The inter-monsoon period is expected to last until the end of November 2023.

During this period, the absence of prevailing monsoonal wind flow has allowed local wind effects to play an important role in governing our daily weather. Based on our climatological records, the frequency of thunderstorms occurrences is the highest during the inter-monsoon period in comparison to the other months.

2. Brunei Darussalam Weather Forecast
Active weather conditions are expected starting early morning, Friday (6 October 2023) until Sunday morning (8 October 2023) with occasional heavy and thundery showers are expected to affect many areas of the country. Wind speed may reach up to 45 km/h during or near and heavy and thundery showers.

Meanwhile over Brunei waters, generally sea condition is at slight state, with wave heights between 0.3 and 0.8 m.
