Meanwhile, adverse weather conditions could affect school operations in some parts of the country. The India Meteorological Department (IMD) has forecast widespread rainfall across several regions on August 10. Very heavy rainfall is likely at isolated places over East Rajasthan and West Madhya Pradesh, while heavy rain is expected in parts of Jammu and Kashmir, Himachal Pradesh, Uttarakhand, Uttar Pradesh, Chhattisgarh and Jharkhand.

Telangana Schools Closed Today, August 10
Telangana is observing a state holiday today due to Bonalu festival. Bonalu is one of the state’s major traditional festivals, and August 10 is listed as a regional holiday in Telangana.
Several educational institutions in Hyderabad have also included August 10 in their annual holiday calendars. However, school schedules may vary between government, private and unaided institutions. Parents are therefore advised to check their child’s school circular, official website or communication channels for confirmation.
Why Are Schools Closed On August 10?
Bonalu is an important traditional festival of Telangana, particularly celebrated in Hyderabad and Secunderabad. The festival is dedicated to Goddess Mahakali and is observed through prayers, temple rituals, cultural programmes and traditional processions. Since Bonalu is recognised as a regional holiday in Telangana, schools and other educational institutions may remain closed on the notified date.
Telangana Weather Update: Could Rain Lead To More School Closures?
The school holiday on August 10 is linked to Bonalu and is not primarily a weather-related closure. However, rainfall remains an important factor for parents and students to monitor.
The IMD has forecast rainfall across several parts of India, with some areas likely to receive heavy showers. If weather conditions deteriorate in any Telangana district, local authorities or individual schools may issue separate advisories regarding classes, transportation or school operations.
Parents should therefore rely on official communications from their schools and district administrations for any weather-related updates.
Are All Telangana Schools Closed Today?
August 10, 2026, is observed as a regional holiday in Telangana on account of Bonalu. However, individual school calendars may differ, particularly among private and unaided institutions. Parents and students should confirm the holiday with their respective schools before making any assumptions about the day’s schedule.
If additional closures are announced because of severe weather, students should follow the instructions issued by the concerned district administration or school authorities.
