WEATHER UPDATE FOR BRUNEI DARUSSALAM 25 OCTOBER 2023

25 Oct 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
Active weather condition is expected in the coming days due to the combination of a low-pressure system over the region and the local wind effect that leads to more moist atmospheric condition, and thus enhancing the development of rain clouds.

Active weather condition is forecasted until Monday early morning (30 October 2023) with occasional heavy thundershowers affecting several areas of the country especially in late afternoon and at night, and may persist until early morning. 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.
