The Story in Brief
The India Meteorological Department (IMD) has forecast light rain in Delhi on the morning of August 15, the 80th Independence Day. The sky will be generally cloudy with spells of very light to light rain, possibly starting from the night of August 14. Prime Minister Narendra Modi will unfurl the Tricolour at the Red Fort and address the nation. The showers could influence conditions around the Red Fort during the national ceremony, though no heavy rain is predicted for the morning.
The Indian Opinion
Every August, Delhi's weather becomes a mini-drama. This year's forecast of light rain is being framed as an "unexpected twist" for the 80th Independence Day. But August in Delhi is monsoon season. Light drizzle during the ceremony is neither surprising nor disruptive. The Red Fort ceremony has contingencies for weather. Instead of hyping routine forecasts, we should focus on the substance of the Prime Minister's address. The real test: how much rain actually falls at Safdarjung between 7 am and 10 am on August 15.
