(Bandar Seri Begawan, 12th) Last night's strong winds and heavy rain in Brunei caused flooding in several areas.
The rain started around 7 PM, causing severe traffic congestion on the roads that night, and there were also incidents of fallen trees.
At Gadong River, due to high tide, the roads near the riverbank were submerged.
Citizens shared videos and photos of flooded roads in various areas on social media that night, showing vehicles driving slowly on water-covered roads.
The Brunei Meteorological Department had previously issued a warning, predicting that the active weather conditions would last until December 15, advising the public to remain vigilant.
It is expected that there will be showers occasionally accompanied by thunderstorms, especially in the afternoons and evenings. These showers may continue until the early hours of the next day. In areas with heavy rain or thunderstorms, strong winds with speeds up to 45 km/h may occur.
Brunei is currently in the northeast monsoon season, which usually lasts until the end of March.
In the first half of this season, the country often experiences unstable weather conditions, with frequent showers and thunderstorms, especially at night. However, as the season progresses into February and March, the weather conditions tend to stabilize.
The department advises the public to take necessary precautions to mitigate the risks associated with active weather conditions.
