1. General Weather Situation
Brunei Darussalam is currently in the Southwest Monsoon which will typically persist until September.

During Southwest Monsoon, atmospheric conditions over our country tend to be quite stable with minimal thunderstorms occurrences compared to during the inter-monsoon period. The wind condition generally will be blowing from the Southwest direction during this period.

2. Brunei Darussalam Weather Forecast
Unsettled weather condition is expected in the coming days due to the formation of a low-pressure system over the South China Sea that leads to more moist and unstable atmospheric conditions over our region.

Weather conditions are forecasted to be active in the next few days starting today, Thursday (18/07/2024) until Tuesday (23/07/2024) afternoon, with occasional heavy and gusty showers expected to affect many areas of the country. Wind speed may reach up to 50 km/h during or near heavy showers.

Over Brunei waters, sea state is generally at slight to moderate, between 0.5-1.2 meters.
