School Holiday August 13: Which States Are Affected by Heavy Rain?

According to the latest IMD forecast, several states and regions are likely to experience significant rainfall during this period.

Himachal Pradesh School Holiday Update

Himachal Pradesh remains one of the key rain-affected states. The IMD has forecast widespread rainfall, with isolated heavy rainfall and a possibility of very heavy rainfall in parts of the state, particularly around August 13-14. 

Given the continuing risk of landslides, flash floods and road disruption in hilly areas, schools in vulnerable districts may be closed through local administrative orders. Parents should check notifications issued by their district administration or respective school.

Rajasthan School Holiday Update

Rajasthan is also witnessing significant monsoon activity. The IMD has warned of heavy rainfall in parts of the state, with East Rajasthan particularly under watch. 

Recent reports have already recorded school closures in several Rajasthan districts because of heavy rain. Authorities have previously announced closures in areas including Jaipur, Jaipur Rural, Dausa, Karauli, Sawai Madhopur, Gangapur and Bharatpur amid severe weather. 

For August 13, however, students should wait for district-specific orders rather than assuming a statewide holiday.

Punjab Holiday Update 

Punjab has also experienced heavy rainfall, with the IMD reporting very heavy rainfall in parts of the state. The latest forecast indicates widespread rainfall activity over Punjab around August 14 as well. 

Jammu and Kashmir, Uttarakhand Under Rain Watch

Jammu and Kashmir and Uttarakhand are also among the northern regions experiencing significant monsoon activity. The IMD recently reported very heavy rainfall in Jammu and Kashmir, while Himachal Pradesh and Uttarakhand recorded heavy rainfall. 

The weather conditions may create risks of waterlogging, landslides and disruption of transportation in vulnerable areas. 

Uttar Pradesh, Haryana and Delhi-NCR

Uttar Pradesh, Haryana and Delhi-NCR are also being affected by the ongoing monsoon spell. The IMD has forecast rainfall activity across northwest India, with Haryana, Chandigarh and Delhi seeing rainfall during the current period. 

While rain alone does not automatically mean a school holiday, schools located in waterlogged or vulnerable areas could receive local instructions from district authorities.

Madhya Pradesh and Chhattisgarh

Central India is also expected to remain wet. The IMD has forecast widespread rainfall over West Madhya Pradesh between August 12 and 14, while Chhattisgarh is expected to receive rainfall through the week. Isolated heavy rainfall is also forecast over West Madhya Pradesh on August 13. 

Odisha, West Bengal and Jharkhand

Eastern India is another major rain-affected region. The IMD has forecast widespread rainfall over Odisha, Gangetic West Bengal, Jharkhand and Sub-Himalayan West Bengal and Sikkim. Heavy to very heavy rainfall is also expected at isolated places over Odisha and Gangetic West Bengal around August 12-13.

Maharashtra and Gujarat

The IMD has forecast widespread rainfall over Konkan and Goa, while Madhya Maharashtra and Gujarat are expected to receive rainfall around August 12-13. Heavy rainfall is forecast over Konkan and Goa, Madhya Maharashtra and Gujarat in parts of this period.

Local authorities may announce closures if heavy rainfall causes flooding, waterlogging or transportation problems.
