WEATHER UPDATE FOR BRUNEI DARUSSALAM 10 OCTOBER 2023

10 Oct 2023

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, local wind effects play an important role in governing our daily weather.

2. Brunei Darussalam Weather Forecast
Unsettled weather condition is expected in the coming days due to the combination of a low-pressure system over the South China Sea with the local wind effect that leads to more moist atmospheric condition, and thus enhancing the development of rain clouds.

Active weather condition is forecasted starting today (10 October 2023) until Sunday early morning (15 October 2023) with occasional heavy thundershowers affecting many areas of the country. Wind gust may reach up to 45 km/h during or near heavy thundershowers.

Over Brunei waters, sea state is generally at slight, below 1.0 meters.
