Chennai School Holiday on December 6th: Will schools remain closed due to Cyclone Ditwah? Check the latest update

With heavy rainfall and the intensifying approach of Cyclone Ditwah, parents and students in and around Chennai are on alert — there is a real possibility that schools may be shut down tomorrow (December 6, 2025).

Are Chennai schools closed tomorrow?

As of now, however, no official announcement has been made regarding a school holiday in Chennai or Tiruvallur district. If the cyclone’s path shifts closer to the coast — particularly affecting Chennai, Puducherry, or parts of southern Andhra Pradesh — and conditions worsen, authorities may decide to close schools as a safety measure.

According to the latest bulletin from the Indian Meteorological Department (IMD), the forecast for December 6 calls for partly cloudy skies across Chennai and surrounding areas, along with light rain in several regions. At present, that does not amount to immediate closure — but the situation remains fluid.

How to stay updated

Parents and students are advised to keep a close watch for official communications — including:

• Updates on school websites
• Messages in class WhatsApp or Telegram groups
• Public announcements from local district administration or disaster-management authorities

Other upcoming school holidays

• In Kerala, schools will observe holidays on December 9 and 11 in view of local-body elections.
• In Meghalaya, all schools will remain closed on December 12 to mark the death anniversary of Pa Togan Nengminja Sangma.

What parents and students should do now

Given the unpredictable nature of cyclonic weather, it’s wise to remain prepared. Keep a close eye on official updates from IMD and local authorities. Ensure you have checked regularly with your school’s official channels, and stay alert for announcements via messaging groups or local administrative notices.
