BANDAR SERI BEGAWAN, Sept 26 (NNN-ANN) – Typhoon Noru will indirectly affect Brunei’s weather and cause windy and active weather conditions, in the coming few days until Sept 28, the Brunei Darussalam Meteorological Department (BDMD), said.
The BDMD said, in its latest forecast that, although the sultanate is currently towards the end of the south-west monsoon period, where south-westerly wind surge is still dominant, with stable atmospheric conditions, squally showers brought by typhoon Noru, heavy at times, are expected to affect many areas of the country.
Wind speed may reach up to 50 km per hour on land, and up to 60 km per hour at sea, during or near squally showers. Sea wave height may reach up to 3.0 metres near squally showers.
Local residents are advised to take precautionary actions. There are risks of falling trees during winds and flash floods, especially in low-lying and flood-prone areas, and near river banks, during heavy rain and high tide.– NNN-ANN
