WEATHER UPDATE FOR BRUNEI DARUSSALAM 14 NOVEMBER 2023
14 Nov 2023
1. General Weather Situation
Negara Brunei Darussalam is currently in the transition period which is expected to last until the end of November 2023.
During this period, local wind effects play an important role in governing our daily weather.
2. Brunei Darussalam Weather Forecast
Our weather condition is expected to be active in the coming days due to the combination of cold surge and local wind effect that leads to more moist atmospheric condition, and thus enhancing the development of rain clouds.
Active weather condition is forecasted starting tomorrow, Wednesday (15 November 2023) until Monday (20 November 2023) with occasional heavy and thundery showers especially over inland areas at late afternoon and at times spreading towards coastal and sea areas at night and may prolong until morning. Wind gust may reach up to 45 km/h during or near heavy and thundery showers.
Over Brunei waters, sea state is generally at slight to moderate, up to 1.5 meters.
3. Our Advice
Members of the public are advised to take precautionary actions with respect to the forecasted active weather condition. There is a high risk of flash floods especially at low-lying and flood prone areas as well as near the river banks during continuous heavy rain and also during high tide. Risk of landslide and fallen trees are also possible during heavy showers and gusty condition. Sea state is dangerous to all small boat operations, sea recreational activities and sports.
