The India Meteorological Department (IMD) has issued alerts for heavy rainfall, thunderstorms, and lightning across several districts in Uttarakhand, including Nainital, Dehradun, Bageshwar, Tehri, and Pithoragarh.
While no statewide school holidays have been declared, district magistrates in high-risk hilly zones are monitoring real-time risks such as landslides, mudslides, and road blockages to issue emergency closure orders if necessary.

Impact & Risks

Heavy rainfall and associated risks such as landslides and flooding are expected to impact hilly regions in Uttarakhand and Himachal Pradesh. Parents in these areas are advised to stay updated on local administrative decisions regarding school closures. In Delhi, traffic diversions and security measures for the BRICS Summit may cause inconvenience for students commuting to coaching centres or exams. Coastal and low-lying areas in Odisha and Maharashtra are under watch for waterlogging, but no widespread closures have been announced.
