Will Schools Be Closed On August 10?

As of the latest updates, rainfall warnings do not automatically mean that schools across an entire state will remain closed. School holidays due to extreme weather are generally announced by the district administration, education department, or individual schools after assessing local conditions. Therefore, students should not assume a holiday solely based on an IMD warning. Parents and students should check official district notices, school WhatsApp groups, websites, and other authorised communication channels before leaving for school.

Telangana Schools Closed For Bonalu

Students in Telangana will have a holiday on Monday, August 10, 2026, as the state observes Bonalu, a major traditional festival of Telangana. The festival has been listed as a general holiday in the Telangana Government's 2026 holiday calendar.

This closure is festival-related and not due to the rainfall alert, though students and parents should still follow any separate instructions issued by their respective schools.

Rajasthan, Chhattisgarh And Himalayan Region Under Watch

Rajasthan is among the regions requiring close monitoring, with the IMD issuing a very heavy rainfall warning for East Rajasthan on August 10 and 11, and a thunderstorm and lightning warning for West Rajasthan.

Chhattisgarh is also under a significant rain alert, with heavy rainfall accompanied by thunderstorms expected on August 10. Meanwhile, the Himalayan region, including Jammu and Kashmir, Himachal Pradesh, and Uttarakhand, is expected to receive substantial rainfall, with several Uttarakhand districts, including Dehradun, Haridwar, Nainital, Pauri Garhwal, Tehri Garhwal, and Uttarkashi, flagged for low to moderate flash-flood risk.

Any school closure in these states will depend on district-level orders based on local weather conditions.

Uttar Pradesh, Delhi-NCR, Jharkhand And Odisha Updates

The IMD has forecast widespread rainfall over East Uttar Pradesh on August 10, with isolated heavy rainfall over West Uttar Pradesh, though no school holiday has been announced based on this forecast alone. Delhi and Haryana are expected to see some rainfall activity, but the heavy-rain warning for the region applies to August 9, not August 10, so students should not assume closures without an official order.

Jharkhand is likely to see heavy rainfall on August 10, while Odisha is expected to experience rainfall during this period as well, with district administrations free to announce closures if conditions worsen.

IMD Weather Forecast For August 10

The IMD forecast indicates very heavy rain likely over East Rajasthan and West Madhya Pradesh, heavy rain over East Madhya Pradesh, Uttar Pradesh, Chhattisgarh, and Jharkhand, and isolated very heavy rain over Himachal Pradesh and Uttarakhand, along with heavy rain likely at isolated places in Jammu & Kashmir.

Odisha, Assam, and Meghalaya are also expected to see rainfall activity in the coming days. While rainfall will remain active across several parts of the country, an IMD weather warning should not be treated as an official school holiday order, as the final decision rests with the concerned district administration or school authority.
