The climate of Brunei (or Brunei Darussalam) is equatorial, ie hot, humid and rainy throughout the year.
Most of the country is flat, but in the south-east, in the Temburong district, an exclave of Brunei in Malaysia, there is a mountainous area, protected in the Ulu Temburong National Park. The highest peak is Bukit Pagon (Pagon Hill), on the border with Malaysia, 1,800 meters (5,900 feet) high.
