BANDAR SERI BEGAWAN, April 2 (Borneo Bulletin/ANN): Brunei has entered the inter-monsoon period, which is the transition period after the northeast monsoon and before entering the southwest monsoon and the inter-monsoon period. It is expected to last until the end of May, said the Brunei Darussalam Meteorological Department (BDMD).

During the period, the absence of prevailing monsoonal wind flow allowed local wind effects to play an important role in governing the daily weather and based on climatological records, the frequency of thunderstorms occurrences is high during the inter-monsoon period in comparison to the other months.
