What to pack for Brunei in the summer

For a visit to Brunei during the summer, it's important to pack light, breathable clothing due to the hot and humid climate.

Lightweight, loose-fitting cotton or linen clothing, such as t-shirts, shorts, and sundresses, are ideal for staying comfortable in the heat. It's also important to bring along a hat, sunglasses, and sunscreen to protect yourself from the strong sun. While Brunei is a Muslim-majority country, the dress code is fairly relaxed for tourists.

However, it's advisable to be respectful and dress modestly when visiting religious sites or interacting with locals. Women may want to pack a scarf or shawl to cover their shoulders when necessary. It's also a good idea to bring along a light jacket or sweater for cooler evenings, as well as a pair of sturdy, comfortable walking shoes for exploring the city or venturing into nature.

Overall, packing a mix of casual, comfortable clothing along with a few modest pieces will ensure that you're prepared for the summer weather in Brunei.

Brunei experiences a tropical climate in the summer, characterized by high temperatures, high humidity, and more frequent rainfall.

Daily temperatures often reach into the mid-30s Celsius, with high levels of humidity making it feel even hotter.

The frequent rainfall during summer months can lead to local flooding and increased humidity, making it an uncomfortable time for outdoor activities.
