Trees have fallen down in many areas as well as roads flooded due to which there has been disruption in traffic and affected commuters. Airlines have also released advisories for people traveling in light of weather disturbances at the airport.
Even with heavy rain that has impacted people’s lives, there is no automatic decision on school closure due to weather in Delhi. The decision by the Delhi Government to close schools is always based on the situation becoming hazardous. So far, no such order has been made for July 10th.

While the IMD has forecast thunderstorms and rain, any decision to suspend classes will depend on fresh instructions from the Delhi Government or local authorities. Students and parents should monitor official updates before heading to school.
