Brunei Darussalam is forecast to experience active weather conditions until Thursday, with occasional heavy and thundery showers expected to affect many areas of the country, with wind gusts of up to 50 kilometres per hour in or near heavy showers, the Brunei Darussalam Meteorological Department (BDMD) said in a statement.

The Sultanate is experiencing the Southwest Monsoon, which typically persists until the end of September.

Meanwhile, over Brunei waters, sea conditions are generally slight, with wave heights ranging from 0.4 to 1.0 metres.

The BDMD advised the public to take precautionary actions with respect to the forecasted active weather condition as there is a high risk of flash floods especially at low-lying and flood-prone areas, as well as near the river banks during continuous heavy rain and also during high tide.

The risk of landslide, fallen trees and roofs flying off are also possible during heavy showers and gusty condition.

The public, road users and fishermen were also advised to always be up to date with the latest weather forecast, advisory and warning issued by the BDMD and to take necessary actions to ensure safety.

The department assured that it will continue to monitor the weather conditions and issue weather advisories or warnings if necessary.
