The onset of Northeast Monsoon is expected over Brunei Darussalam by mid December 2016 until March 2017. For the first half of the monsoon season (December-January), the country will normally experience very active weather conditions with heavy and prolonged rain and thunderstorms, especially during the night and early morning, the Brunei Darussalam Meteorological Department (BDMD) said.
Based on current regional weather situation and latest seasonal forecasts from the leading world climate centres, La-Nina conditions have been observed over the Pacific Ocean, and are slightly favoured (55 per cent chance) to persist through February 2017, according to a press release.
