BANDAR SERI BEGAWAN, Nov. 29 (Xinhua) -- Heavy rainfall caused flash floods along parts of the Tutong Highway in Brunei on Thursday evening, leading to traffic congestion for commuters traveling towards Bandar Seri Begawan, the capital of the Sultanate, local media reported.
According to the local daily Borneo Bulletin, the floods, which submerged sections of the highway, resulted in traffic jams. The heavy rain also triggered flash floods in several areas across the Brunei-Muara and Tutong districts.
Brunei, located in the northern part of Borneo Island, is experiencing the first half of the northeast monsoon season, which is typically associated with unstable weather patterns, according to Brunei's Meteorological Department. ■
