Several parts of India are expected to receive heavy rainfall on Monday, August 10, according to the latest forecast from the India Meteorological Department (IMD). Students and parents in affected areas should check official announcements from district administrations and schools before travelling. The IMD has predicted widespread rainfall across several regions. Very heavy rain is likely at isolated places in East Rajasthan and West Madhya Pradesh, while heavy rainfall may affect Jammu and Kashmir, Himachal Pradesh, Uttarakhand, Uttar Pradesh, Chhattisgarh and Jharkhand.

In Telangana, schools are expected to remain closed on August 10 because of Bonalu, a major traditional festival. The festival is included as a general holiday in the Telangana Government’s 2026 holiday calendar. The closure is therefore festival-related rather than connected to the rainfall alert. Meanwhile, Rajasthan remains under a significant weather warning, with very heavy rainfall forecast in East Rajasthan on August 10 and 11. Chhattisgarh is also expected to experience heavy rain, thunderstorms and lightning. (File image)

Jammu and Kashmir, Ladakh, Himachal Pradesh and Uttarakhand too remain under weather warnings, with some Uttarakhand districts facing a low-to-moderate flash-flood risk. East Uttar Pradesh is expected to see widespread rain, while isolated heavy rainfall is forecast in West Uttar Pradesh. Jharkhand may also experience heavy rain. (File Photo/Representative)

Meanwhile, Delhi and Haryana may witness rainfall, but the latest IMD bulletin does not indicate a specific heavy-rain warning for August 10. Students in Delhi-NCR should therefore not assume a school holiday unless an official order is issued. With conditions varying by district, parents and students should rely on official local updates before treating August 10 as a school holiday. (Representational/File)

Students and parents must note that a weather warning does not automatically mean schools will be closed. School holidays during extreme weather are generally declared by district administrations, education departments or individual schools after assessing local conditions. Parents are therefore advised to check official notices, school websites, and other authorised communication channels. (Image: Pexels)
