BANDAR SERI BEGAWAN, Jul 6 (NNN-BB) – The weather condition in Brunei is forecasted to be active from now until Sunday, the country’s meteorological agency said.
According to the Brunei Darussalam Meteorological Department, at the Ministry of Transport and Infocommuncations, the Sultanate is currently in the south-west monsoon period, with active weather conditions forecasted for the next few days, due to moist atmospheric conditions that enhanced the development of rain clouds.
The condition will result in occasional heavy and thundery showers, affecting a number of areas, the meteorological department said.
The department’s observation station at the Brunei International Airport, reported a total rainfall of 161.1 millimetres since Jul 1, which had exceeded more than half of the normal rainfall for July.
The risk of falling trees and landslides will increase during heavy showers and gusty conditions, while flash floods, especially in low-lying and flood-prone areas and near the river banks may occur, during heavy rain and high tide, the agency said.– NNN-BB
