The Story in Brief
The India Meteorological Department has forecast generally cloudy skies over Delhi’s Red Fort on Independence Day, with temperatures between 24 and 33 degrees Celsius. No significant rain is expected from 6 am to 7 am, but very light rain of 2 to 4 mm may occur between 7 am and 9 am, with a 50 per cent probability.
Another spell of very light rain, around 3 mm, has a 60 per cent probability from noon to evening. The IMD said Delhi-NCR could receive light to moderate rain through the week, with showers forecast until August 20. At 5.30 am on Saturday, Delhi had cloudy skies, calm winds and no recorded rain.
The Indian Opinion
The forecast does not support either alarmist claims of a washout or casual assurances of clear skies. The morning ceremony has a defined window with no significant rain expected initially, but light showers remain possible later and the wider region is forecast to stay wet. Organisers should prepare for brief rain without treating it as a disruption already certain. The practical test is whether rainfall between 7 am and 9 am crosses the forecast 2 to 4 mm range.
