The Brunei Meteorological Department said on Sunday that active weather conditions will continue over the country through November 13, including occasional heavy and thundery showers.
The department highlighted that waves over Brunei waters are expected to reach 0.5 to 1.5 meters and wind gusts could reach up to 45 km/h, making moderate sea conditions hazardous for small boats and marine recreational activities.
Marine Safety Warning
The warning urged fishermen and those planning sea activities to exercise caution and to monitor the latest forecasts, as the >0.5‑meter waves and gusty winds could easily disrupt small vessels and cause accidents.
Ground-Level Risks
In addition to marine hazards, the department cautioned the public against flash floods, landslides and gusty winds occurring during the unsettled weather period, advising vigilance particularly in low‑lying areas and near riverbanks.
Brunei is presently in the Northeast Monsoon season, which is expected to continue until around the end of March 2027, the department noted, implying that the active weather will be part of a broader seasonal pattern.
Residents and travelers in Brunei are advised to keep updated on weather bulletins, especially those planning outdoor or sea-bound activities, to minimize exposure to the described risks.
