AP School Holiday Tomorrow: Cyclone Montha continues to impact weather patterns along the Andhra Pradesh coast, prompting the India Meteorological Department (IMD) to issue warnings, prompting several districts to extend school holidays until October 30, 2025. Weather forecasts indicate heavy to very heavy rainfall and strong winds are expected in many areas, so district administrations have closed schools for another day as a precautionary measure for student safety.
Due to the impact of the cyclone, standing crops in as many as 38,000 hectares in Andhra Pradesh were destroyed and also horticulture crops in 1.38 lakh hectares.
Nearly 76,000 people were shifted to relief camps while the government arranged 219 medical camps at various places. It also arranged 865 tonnes of animal fodder, keeping the cyclone in view, according to the PTI reports.
Andhra Pradesh Schools Closed for Cyclone Montha:
Tomorrow, Thursday, October 30, 2025, schools in several Andhra Pradesh districts will remain closed due to Cyclone Montha. Holidays have been extended in many areas, including Kakinada (until at least October 31), Anakapalle (schools and colleges), and Bapatla, which remains under a Red Alert.
These closures are a precautionary measure against continued heavy rainfall and cyclonic alerts, ensuring the safety of students and staff. District authorities are monitoring the situation closely, with decisions on further extensions to be made based on evolving weather conditions.
Cyclone Montha Expected To Make Landfall:
Severe Cyclonic storm Montha on Tuesday made landfall off the coast of Andhra Pradesh, causing disruptions in the southern state, while the impact was also felt in neighbouring Odisha, where normal life was affected in 15 districts.
The landfall process started around 7 pm, the India Meteorological Department (IMD) said, adding that the weather system in the Bay of Bengal will cross Andhra Pradesh coast between Machilipatnam and Kalingapatnam around Kakinada.
It will cross with a maximum sustained wind speed of 90 to 100 kmph and gusting up to 110 kmph.
