Brunei Darussalam will be transitioning from the inter-monsoon phase to southwest monsoon, expected to start by next month, according to the Brunei Darussalam Meteorological Department (BDMD).
Typically, the southwest monsoon will persist until September. During the southwest monsoon, atmospheric conditions over the country tend to be quite stable with minimal thunderstorms compared to the inter-monsoon period. The wind condition generally will be blowing from the Southwest direction during this period, the BDMD said.
The southwest monsoon is also synonym with the season of active development of tropical storm and typhoon systems over the northwest Pacific Ocean and the South China Sea. If this happens, the country’s weather could be influenced by the presence of tropical storm or typhoon systems. However, it depends on the intensity and distance of the locations from the country.
