Bengaluru's Winter Chill to Return Soon After Brief Warm Spell, IMD Confirms

• Bengaluru experienced a brief warm spell with night temperatures rising sharply to 17.4°C, sparking concerns about an early end to winter.
• The India Meteorological Department (IMD) stated this temperature increase is temporary and not the end of winter.
• Colder conditions are expected to return within the next 2-3 weeks, with night temperatures likely to fall after January 5 or 6.
• The temporary warming is due to easterly winds from the Bay of Bengal, bringing moisture and cloud cover that reduced night-time heat loss.
• Multiple weather systems, including an upper-air cyclonic circulation, are influencing the region's current weather.

Why It Matters: Bengaluru's brief warm spell is temporary; IMD predicts winter chill will return soon after Jan 5/6.
