School Holiday Today On September 16 :
The continuous rainfall this September has disturbed normal life in many states of India. Heavy showers, thunderstorms, and strong winds have been reported in Maharashtra, Telangana, and Tamil Nadu. Parents and students are worried about possible school closures on 16th September 2025 (Tuesday). Local authorities are keeping a close watch on weather conditions, and last-minute decisions may be taken.
No, September 16 is not a national or gazetted holiday in India. Most schools in Delhi, Uttar Pradesh, Bihar, West Bengal, Kerala, and Karnataka are expected to function as usual. The next big nationwide holidays will come later this month during Durga Puja and Dussehra celebrations.
Mumbai, Pune, Thane, and Raigad are facing heavy rain. The IMD has issued Orange and Red alerts. On 15th September, some schools in Pune declared a holiday due to overnight rain, but no official announcement has been made yet for 16th September. Parents should stay updated through school notices and local authority messages.
The IMD has warned of heavy rainfall with thunderstorms across several districts, including Adilabad, Nizamabad, Medak, and Mahabubnagar. As of now, schools will remain open, but parents must check for sudden changes.
A yellow alert has been issued for many districts such as Erode, Krishnagiri, Dharmapuri, Salem, and Tiruvannamalai. While schools are expected to remain open, local administrations may declare closures in affected areas if rainfall increases.
After floods and landslides earlier this month, most schools have reopened. However, in some affected areas, classes are still resuming slowly.
Schools are functioning normally. Only low-lying areas are carefully observing the weather situation.
Apart from weather-related holidays, students will soon enjoy festive breaks. Rajasthan schools will close for Navratri Sthapana on 22nd September, and Jammu will observe a holiday on 23rd September for Maharaja Hari Singh Ji’s birthday. Major Durga Puja holidays will follow at the end of the month in eastern states.
On 16th September 2025, most schools in India are expected to remain open. However, due to continuous rainfall in some states, parents should follow updates from schools and local authorities before sending children to class.
