Uttarakhand School Holiday Tomorrow: No statewide blanket school holiday for September 3 is announced yet. District Magistrates are taking district-wise decisions to close schools on the basis of local weather conditions, road connectivity, waterlogging and risks of landslides. A statewide holiday has already been declared for Friday, September 4, 2026, for Janmashtami.
Uttarakhand School Holiday Tomorrow: Are Nainital, Bhimtal, Dehradun Schools Open or Closed?
At present, no statewide closure order has been announced for September 3. Schools are expected to operate normally in districts where the local administration has not issued a closure order.
Several areas, including Nainital, Bhimtal and Dehradun, have witnessed weather-related school closures during the past few days. Other districts, including Almora and Bageshwar, have also seen closures due to heavy rain. However, those orders were issued for specific dates, and any extension to September 3 requires a fresh decision from the respective District Magistrate.
Parents should therefore check official school notifications and district administration updates before sending children to school.
IMD Heavy Rain Alert For Nainital, Bhimtal, Dehradun and Other Uttarakhand Districts

Lightning and gusty winds.
-
Landslides and rockfalls in hilly areas.
