Post: Northeast Monsoon Arrives in Brunei Darussalam.

Bandar Seri Begawan: Brunei Darussalam will be entering the Northeast Monsoon tomorrow, 19th November, and is expected to persist until around the end of March 2025. The first two months of the Northeast Monsoon, namely December 2024 and January 2025, also known as the rainy season, are the months that normally receive the highest amount of rainfall and have recorded the highest number of rain days, in comparison to the other months. According to Radio Television Brunei, during this period, the country usually experiences unstable weather conditions, with occasional heavy showers or thundershowers, particularly during the night until early morning. The risk of severe flooding may occur when heavy rain coincides with high tide, and landslides and fallen trees may happen during prolonged heavy rain. Strong Northeast cold wind surges may also result in the increase of wave height over Brunei waters. During the second half of the Northeast Monsoon, in February 2025 and March 2025, the atmospheric condition tend s to become more stable with reduced rainfall activity. The public is advised to take precautionary actions and appropriate measures in dealing with the impacts that relate to the active weather conditions.
