The month of August is turning out to be a holiday-filled period for school and college students in Telangana and Andhra Pradesh. With several festivals falling close to regular weekend holidays, students could get multiple breaks in the coming days. The first major break comes with Varalakshmi Vratham on August 21, Friday. The festival is widely celebrated across Telugu households, and several schools, colleges and private educational institutions in Telangana and Andhra Pradesh are expected to observe a holiday.

Since August 21 falls on a Friday, students will have the regular Saturday and Sunday holidays immediately afterwards. This means many students could enjoy a three-day break from August 21 to 23. (AI Image)

The holiday excitement continues into the following week. Milad-un-Nabi falls on Wednesday, August 26, and educational institutions in Telangana will observe a holiday on the occasion. Students will therefore get another break just a few days after the Varalakshmi Vratham weekend. (Representative/File Photo)

Another important holiday comes on Friday, August 28, with the celebration of Shravan Purnima and Raksha Bandhan. Several educational institutions are expected to remain closed on the occasion. As August 28 is followed by Saturday and Sunday, students can once again look forward to a three-day weekend from August 28 to 30. (File/Representative)

This makes the final weeks of August particularly attractive for students. Two three-day weekends are lined up within a short period, with another festival holiday falling in between. However, the exact holiday schedule may differ from one school or educational institution to another, so students and parents should check their respective school notices before making travel plans.

Meanwhile, the India Meteorological Department has forecast light rainfall at isolated places in Telangana and Andhra Pradesh between August 18 and 23. Gusty winds of 40-50 kmph, with speeds occasionally reaching 60 kmph, are also possible in parts of Telangana, Coastal Andhra, Yanam and Rayalaseema during this period. (File/Representative Image)

Temperatures are expected to remain relatively high despite the possibility of scattered rain. Telangana could record maximum temperatures of around 35°C, while parts of Andhra Pradesh may see temperatures rise to 36-37°C. Students and families travelling during the holidays should therefore keep track of the latest weather updates. (File/Representative Image)
