Schools across Uttarakhand are generally open today, August 10, 2026, as there is no statewide holiday announcement. However, a local holiday has been declared in Bageshwar, where schools up to Class 12 and Anganwadi centres have been ordered to remain closed due to heavy rain concerns. Other districts may announce closures depending on local weather conditions.
Are Schools Closed In Bageshwar Today?
Yes. The Bageshwar district administration has ordered the closure of all schools up to Class 12 and Anganwadi centres today due to the risk posed by heavy rainfall. The decision comes amid weather alerts issued by the India Meteorological Department and concerns over difficult travel conditions during the ongoing monsoon.
Are Schools Open In Dehradun, Nainital And Champawat?
Schools in Dehradun, Nainital and Champawat are currently open. However, these districts are under an orange alert for heavy to very heavy rainfall and thunderstorms. District administrations may announce local closures at short notice if heavy rain causes waterlogging, landslides or unsafe travel conditions. Schools in other districts are also operating normally unless a local administration issues a separate closure order.
What Is The IMD Weather Forecast For Uttarakhand?
The IMD has issued orange and yellow weather alerts for several parts of Uttarakhand. Heavy rainfall could lead to flash flooding, waterlogging and landslides in vulnerable areas. A low to moderate risk of flash flooding has also been flagged for watersheds and low-lying areas in Bageshwar, Chamoli, Pithoragarh, Rudraprayag and Uttarkashi.
What Should Parents And Students Do?
Since school closures in Uttarakhand are being decided at the district level, parents should check the latest notification from their district administration or their individual school before sending children to school. Any fresh closure announced because of worsening weather will apply according to the local administration’s order.
