Bengaluru woke up to cool, comfy weather on August 15, 2025—think 20-25°C and mostly dry skies, despite forecasts of light rain in some areas.
This meant Independence Day events went off without a hitch: Chief Minister Siddaramaiah raised the flag at Manekshaw Parade Ground, and thousands joined in community celebrations across the city.

After heavy rains earlier this month, everyone got a break with perfect parade weather.
Over 1,150 students performed in a grand cultural showcase honoring Karnataka's heritage.
Security was tight but smooth—2,000 police officers and lots of CCTV made sure everyone could just focus on enjoying the day.
