(Bandar Seri Begawan, 19th) Brunei is currently experiencing the Southwest Monsoon, which typically lasts until the end of September. Active weather is expected to persist until Saturday, with showers anticipated, sometimes accompanied by severe thunderstorms, particularly in inland areas during the afternoons.
According to a statement from the Brunei Meteorological Department, these showers may extend to coastal and marine areas during the night and early morning. Intermittent showers are also expected along the coast and at sea, with wind speeds possibly reaching up to 5 kilometers per hour during and around gusty periods.
Sea conditions are generally mild, with wave heights ranging from 0.2 to 1.0 meters. However, from tomorrow until Saturday, sea conditions are expected to intensify to moderate or above moderate, with wave heights reaching up to 2 meters.
In light of the forecasted active weather, the public is advised to take precautionary measures. The risk of flooding during prolonged heavy rains and high tides is particularly high, especially in low-lying, flood-prone areas and near riverbanks. During heavy rain and gusty weather, landslides, fallen trees, and flying roofs are also potential hazards.
Adverse sea conditions pose dangers to small vessels, sea recreational activities, and water sports. Therefore, the public, road users, and fishermen are advised to continuously monitor the latest weather forecasts, announcements, and warnings issued by the Meteorological Department and take all necessary measures to ensure their safety.
