The public are advised not to easily trust and be misled by unconfirmed information that has been circulated through the social media without first authenticating its validity.  The advice are issued by the Brunei Darussalam Meteorological Department following the viral image on social media dated 4 April 2024, which shows high temperature in Southeast Asia region.  The department in its press release informed that high temperature depicted in the image is the 'feels like' temperature, which combines air temperature with relative humidity for that particular region.

The 'feels like' temperature is different from the recorded air temperature, as the air temperature is measured using thermometers according to international standard procedures. The department has provided recorded daily maximum temperature as well as 'feels like' temperature for several areas in Brunei Darussalam using infographics for public information and reference, which are shared through BDMD's social media platforms. The weather information can be obtained through the mobile app, Brunei WX; Facebook at @bruneiweather; Instagram @brunei.weather and Telegram, Brunei Weather.  For latest weather information contact 114 or visit met.gov.bn.
