Bandar Seri Begawan, 10th -- The active weather conditions are expected to continue until December 15th, and the Meteorological Department advises the public to remain vigilant.

Showers with occasional thunderstorms are expected, particularly in the afternoon and evening. These showers may persist into the early hours of the next day. In areas with heavy rain or thunderstorms, strong winds with speeds of up to 45 km/h may occur.

Marine conditions in Brunei waters are generally slight to moderate, with wave heights ranging from 0.6 to 1.7 meters.

According to the Brunei Meteorological Department, Brunei is currently in the Northeast Monsoon season, which usually lasts until the end of March.

During 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, weather conditions tend to stabilize.

The department advises the public to take necessary precautions to mitigate the risks associated with active weather conditions.

Heavy rainfall may lead to flash floods, especially in low-lying areas and near riverbanks. Strong winds may cause landslides, fallen trees, and flying debris. Moderate marine conditions pose a risk to small boat operations and offshore activities.
