Schools in several parts of India may see temporary closures on Tuesday, September 29, 2026, as heavy rainfall, thunderstorms, flooding and other weather-related risks continue to affect some regions. Students and parents in Uttar Pradesh, Uttarakhand, Himachal Pradesh, Andhra Pradesh, Karnataka, Kerala, Odisha and parts of Northeast India are advised to check the latest instructions from their district administrations and schools. While some areas have previously announced rain-related holidays, a weather alert alone does not mean schools will remain closed. Local authorities may issue fresh orders based on rainfall, waterlogging, flooding, landslides and road conditions.
Uttar Pradesh school holiday September 29
Uttar Pradesh continues to remain under scrutiny after intense rainfall in several areas over the past few days. The weather system affecting the state is expected to gradually weaken as it moves north-northwestwards, although rainfall-related disruptions may continue in some districts.
Bareilly had announced a school holiday for September 28 for students from Nursery to Class 12 following directions from the district administration. The order applied to UP Board, CBSE and ICSE schools. However, the September 28 closure does not automatically extend to September 29.
Students and parents in Uttar Pradesh should therefore wait for a fresh district-level notification before assuming that schools will remain closed on September 29.
Uttarakhand and Himachal Pradesh school holiday September 29
Weather conditions remain unsettled across parts of the Himalayan region. Rainfall has been forecast in Uttarakhand and Himachal Pradesh, with isolated heavy rainfall possible in some areas.
An IMD weather alert does not automatically result in a school holiday. District administrations may announce temporary closures if heavy rain, landslides, waterlogging or unsafe road conditions create concerns for students and staff.
Parents and students should check district-level announcements and school notices for the latest September 29 updates.
Andhra Pradesh School Holiday September 29
Parts of Andhra Pradesh were affected by the recent deep depression, with heavy rainfall and strong winds reported across several districts. Earlier school holidays were announced in Srikakulam, Vizianagaram, Parvathipuram Manyam, Visakhapatnam, Alluri Sitharama Raju and Anakapalle.
For September 29, students should check fresh instructions issued by their respective district administrations and schools, particularly in areas that continue to experience weather-related disruption.
Karnataka School Holiday September 29
Rainfall and thunderstorms are expected in parts of Karnataka, with continued rain activity possible over interior areas. Gusty winds may also affect some locations.
There is no confirmed statewide school holiday for September 29 based on the available information. Students should follow notices issued by their district authorities and individual schools before making plans for the day.
Kerala School Holiday September 29
Kerala may experience rainfall, thunderstorms and gusty winds during this period. The IMD has forecast gusty winds over Kerala and Mahe from September 29 to October 1.
No statewide school closure has been confirmed for September 29. However, separate instructions could be issued in areas facing severe local weather conditions.
Odisha School Holiday September 29
Odisha experienced school closures in several districts during the recent heavy-rain spell linked to the Bay of Bengal weather system. Earlier closures were announced at different stages in districts including Koraput, Malkangiri, Ganjam, Gajapati, Khurda, Nabarangpur, Puri and Jagatsinghpur.
For September 29, there is no confirmed statewide school holiday based on the available information. Students should continue to monitor district-level orders, especially where heavy rainfall or waterlogging remains a concern.
Northeast India School Holiday September 29
Several areas of Northeast India may experience rain, thunderstorms and gusty winds. School closure decisions in the region may depend on local weather conditions and safety concerns.
Students and parents should check notifications issued by their local administration or schools, as closures may be announced at the district or institution level rather than across the entire region.
Delhi-NCR School Holiday September 29
There is no confirmed statewide or region-wide school holiday for Delhi-NCR on September 29 based on the available information.
Schools are expected to follow their regular schedules unless the Delhi government, district administration or individual school issues a fresh closure notice. Students should therefore check school-specific communication before leaving for school.
School Holiday September 29: What Students Should Check
A weather warning does not automatically mean schools will be closed. Temporary holidays due to heavy rainfall, flooding, landslides or other emergencies are generally announced by the concerned district administration, education department or individual school.
Students and parents should check official district notifications, school messages and other authorised communication channels for the latest September 29 closure status. This is particularly important in districts where weather conditions can change quickly.
Cyclone Arnab Update: Will schools remain closed?
The weather system recently referred to in several reports as Cyclone Arnab was classified by the IMD as a deep depression rather than a cyclonic storm. It crossed the north Andhra Pradesh-south Odisha coast near Kalingapatnam before weakening after moving inland.
The system nevertheless brought heavy rainfall and strong winds to parts of Odisha and Andhra Pradesh. Several districts in Odisha announced temporary school closures as a precaution during the worst of the weather.
The earlier closures linked to this system should not be treated as automatic holidays for September 29. Students should rely on fresh orders from the relevant district authorities or their schools.
