Bengaluru is expected to experience temperatures 1-2 degrees Celsius above normal this winter due to the El Niño effect, eliminating the usual biting cold.

The El Niño effect is predicted to result in day temperatures being one degree Celsius above normal and night temperatures being two degrees Celsius above normal.

The impact on mango flowering is being monitored, and a technical committee meeting will discuss the climatic conditions and determine the next steps.
