¿Por qué está haciendo tanto frío en Bogotá en épocas históricamente secas? Esto explica el Ideam

TL;DR

  • Bogotá is facing unusual weather conditions for January, including low temperatures, persistent clouds, and unexpected rain.
  • Typically, January in Bogotá is a dry period with stable temperatures.
  • High humidity and cloud cover, originating from air masses from the south and east, are contributing factors to the current weather.
  • Persistent cloudiness limits direct solar radiation, resulting in lower temperatures and a cold thermal sensation.
  • The cloud cover also traps humidity, facilitating rain formation.
  • Recent temperature fluctuations have been observed between 8.4°C and 22.2°C.
  • These conditions contrast with Bogotá's historical average annual temperature of around 13°C.
  • Elevated humidity levels have led to dense cloud layers and sporadic rainfall, even in the Bogotá Savanna.
  • These atypical rains are also being observed in other regions, such as the Colombian Caribbean.
