Sources and checks for this page
Live readings come from METAR reports from the aerodrome at Brunei Intl. Monthly means and every record on this page are computed from NOAA GHCN-Daily observations stored per station, per year, per month, and the capital list is GeoNames, CC BY 4.0. Nothing here is modelled, interpolated or estimated, and a month the archive never covered is left out rather than filled in. See how this is built.
3.4°F between May and January, the 216th widest swing among the 230 capitals ranked here. The big figure on each card is the average high for that month across the whole record; the two lines beneath it are the hottest and coldest days ever recorded in it.

What is the weather in Bandar Seri Begawan right now?+−
78.8°F at Brunei Intl, measured at 20:30 local on Friday, 13 November 2026. This is the live reading from the station this page reads, after our quality checks. It is an observation rather than a forecast: it says what the weather IS, not what it will be.
When did temperature records begin in Bandar Seri Begawan?+−
The archive held here for Bandar Seri Begawan, Brunei starts in 1981, which is 44 years of record, and 19,182 stored daily values, each one a maximum or a minimum.
Which station measures Bandar Seri Begawan's temperature?+−
Brunei Intl (WBSB), 15 m above sea level. Every figure on this page comes from that one station rather than from a city-wide average, so it is a measurement at a known place rather than an estimate for an area.
How is the temperature measured and checked?+−
Readings arrive from METAR reports from the aerodrome and are quality controlled before they appear: a value outside a plausible range, or one that jumps further than air can move in the time between readings, is rejected rather than published. Every figure shows its source and the time it was observed.
Are there gaps in Bandar Seri Begawan's record?+−
The record runs from 1981 to 2025, and it is not equally deep across the year: the thinnest of the 12 months has 12 years of readings behind its average and the fullest has 22. Gaps are left as gaps: a month the archive never covered is omitted rather than filled in, which is why some months on this page carry no record.
Is Bandar Seri Begawan getting hotter?+−
In its hottest month it has. Across 22 Mays between 1994 and 2025, the average May high at Brunei Intl has risen about 0.2°F per decade. That is a straight-line fit through this one station's record: it is not corrected for a station that moved or changed instrument, and it is a description of the readings rather than a climate attribution.
How does Bandar Seri Begawan compare with other capitals?+−
It is the 28th warmest of the 230 capital cities with a full twelve months of record here, ranked on annual mean rather than on any single day, and 216th by the width of its annual swing. Abuja, Port-au-Prince, Kingston sit closest to it on that ranking.
Why is Bandar Seri Begawan hotter in May than in July?+−
May averages a high of 91.4°F here and July 90.9°F, so the hottest part of the year arrives 2 months before midsummer and the afternoons are 0.5°F cooler by the time the sun is highest. The month cards above show the rise and the fall. These are temperature readings, so they show that shape rather than what causes it: nothing on this page measures cloud, rain or wind.
