School Holiday Today (September 3): Parents and schoolchildren in various regions of India are awaiting confirmation of whether schools will be open today, September 3, amid continued heavy rain, thunderstorms and weather warnings across the country. Several areas in India have been issued heavy to very heavy rainfall alerts by the IMD, raising concerns about waterlogging, flooding, and disruption of roads and travel.
School Holiday on September 3: Is There a Nationwide Closure?
There is currently no blanket school closure across India for September 3 because of the ongoing monsoon conditions. Although the IMD has issued rainfall warnings for several regions, weather alerts do not automatically result in school holidays. Local administrations generally assess the situation based on rainfall intensity, flooding, road conditions and the safety of students before ordering schools to shut. Parents and students should therefore check official notices issued by their district administration or school.
IMD Rain Alert: Which States Are Likely to Receive Heavy Rain?
The latest IMD forecast indicates heavy rainfall activity across several parts of northern, central and eastern India. Himachal Pradesh, Uttarakhand, Haryana, Chandigarh, Delhi, Punjab, Uttar Pradesh, Madhya Pradesh, Chhattisgarh, Bihar, West Bengal, Jharkhand and parts of the Northeast are among the regions facing varying levels of rainfall activity. The IMD has also warned of isolated extremely heavy rainfall over East Madhya Pradesh on September 2 and 3.
Delhi-NCR School Holiday Update
Delhi-NCR is likely to witness rain and thunderstorms, with the IMD predicting isolated heavy rainfall across Delhi, Haryana, Chandigarh and Punjab between September 2 and 5.

Students and parents are advised to rely on official communication from their respective schools and local authorities for the latest updates.
Haryana and Punjab School Closure Update
Haryana and Punjab continue to remain under a weather alert as rainfall and thunderstorms are expected in several areas. The IMD has forecast heavy rain in parts of Haryana, Chandigarh and Punjab through September 5. Despite the weather warning, no statewide school holiday has been confirmed, and any decision to suspend classes will depend on local weather conditions and orders issued by district administrations.
Uttarakhand School Holiday Update
Uttarakhand is expected to experience continued rainfall, with the IMD forecasting heavy to very heavy rain in some areas. Persistent rainfall could increase the risk of landslides, flash floods and road disruptions, particularly in the state’s hilly regions. However, no statewide school closure for September 3 has been confirmed so far, and parents should check district-level announcements for any changes.
Himachal Pradesh School Holiday Update
Himachal Pradesh is also likely to receive heavy rainfall, with the IMD predicting isolated heavy rain on September 2 and 3. The possibility of landslides, blocked roads and transportation disruptions could prompt local authorities to review school operations in affected areas. However, there is currently no confirmed statewide school holiday for September 3.
Uttar Pradesh School Holiday Update
Several parts of Uttar Pradesh are expected to continue receiving rainfall, with the IMD forecasting heavy rain in some areas. West Uttar Pradesh is likely to see heavy rainfall during September 2 and 3, while rainfall activity is expected to continue in East Uttar Pradesh from September 3.

Will Schools Remain Closed on September 3?
Students should not assume that schools across India will remain closed on September 3 simply because of the IMD’s rainfall warnings. School holidays due to extreme weather are generally announced by individual state governments, district administrations or schools based on the severity of conditions in a particular area. Parents and students are therefore advised to check official school messages and local government notifications before heading to school.
