School Holiday Today, July 9, 2026: Heavy monsoon showers continue to disrupt normal life across several parts of India, prompting authorities to suspend classes in multiple districts.
Educational institutions in Uttar Pradesh, Uttarakhand, Kerala and Karnataka have been closed as a precautionary measure following persistent rainfall, waterlogging and landslide threats. The India Meteorological Department (IMD) has also warned of continued heavy rainfall in several states over the next few days.
The Ghaziabad district administration has ordered the closure of all government, aided and private schools up to Class 12 due to heavy rainfall and adverse weather conditions. The decision was taken after continuous showers led to waterlogging in several parts of the district.
The IMD has issued an Orange Alert for Ghaziabad and adjoining districts, warning of more rain, thunderstorms and gusty winds. Authorities have advised residents to avoid unnecessary travel and stay updated through official advisories.
Heavy rainfall has affected several districts of Uttarakhand, increasing the risk of landslides and flash floods. Continuous rain has disrupted movement on key routes, including the Gangotri and Yamunotri National Highways.
As a precaution, district administrations in affected regions have suspended classes in schools to ensure student safety. Residents have been advised to remain alert and avoid travel in vulnerable areas.
Several districts in Kerala have declared a holiday for schools as heavy rainfall continues across the state. Authorities are closely monitoring rivers, reservoirs and landslide-prone regions, particularly in hilly districts. Disaster management teams remain on alert, and local administrations have urged people to follow weather advisories and avoid unnecessary movement during periods of intense rainfall.
In Karnataka, district administrations have announced holidays for schools and Anganwadi centres in rain-hit areas, including parts of the Malnad region. The decision follows incessant rainfall, strong winds and concerns over student safety. Authorities have also directed educational institutions to make up for the lost academic days at a later date.
The India Meteorological Department has forecast heavy to very heavy rainfall in parts of Maharashtra, Karnataka, Kerala, Uttarakhand, Punjab, Haryana and other regions as the southwest monsoon remains active.
Thunderstorms, lightning and gusty winds are also expected in isolated areas. Citizens have been advised to stay away from waterlogged stretches, avoid unnecessary travel and monitor official weather updates.
Since school holiday decisions are taken by district administrations based on local weather conditions, parents and students are advised to regularly check updates from their respective schools, district authorities and state education departments.
Fresh announcements may be issued if rainfall intensifies or weather conditions deteriorate further.
