Monday, September 7, 2026, is not a nationwide school holiday. Regular classes and school operations are expected to continue in most parts of India.
However, weather conditions could change that picture for some students.
With the India Meteorological Department (IMD) warning of heavy rainfall in several regions, local administrations may announce school closures at short notice where roads become unsafe, waterlogging worsens or there is a risk of landslides and flooding.
Parents and students should therefore check their school's latest circular, SMS, WhatsApp group, website or app before leaving home on Monday morning.

| Uttarakhand | District-wise decision | Heavy rain, landslides, lightning |
| Delhi-NCR | Expected to remain open | Rain, thunderstorms, waterlogging |
| Himachal Pradesh | District-wise decision possible | Heavy rain, landslides |
| Uttar Pradesh | District-wise decision possible | Heavy rain, flooding/waterlogging |
| Bihar | Expected to remain open | Rain and thunderstorms |
| Jharkhand | Expected to remain open | Rain and thunderstorms |

Uttarakhand school holiday tomorrow
Uttarakhand is among the states where parents should pay particular attention to local announcements.The IMD has forecast isolated heavy rainfall in the state on September 7, along with thunderstorms and lightning in some areas. Hilly districts can face additional risks because intense rain can trigger landslides, mudslides, blocked roads and sudden rises in rivers and streams.
District administrations in vulnerable areas, including Nainital and Dehradun, can take local decisions based on ground conditions.
Other districts under weather-related monitoring may also issue precautionary closure orders if conditions deteriorate.
Importantly, there is no blanket school holiday across Uttarakhand for September 7 at present. Schools are expected to operate normally where no separate closure order has been issued.
Parents should also avoid assuming that a school closure announced on an earlier date automatically continues into Monday. A fresh order may be required.
Can heavy rain close schools in Uttarakhand?
Yes. A weather warning from the IMD does not automatically mean every school in the state will close.District Magistrates and local administrations can consider factors such as rainfall intensity, landslide threats, road connectivity, flooding and waterlogging before ordering schools to shut.
In some cases, such decisions can come late at night or early in the morning if weather conditions worsen.
If roads are severely affected, families should prioritize safety even if a formal school closure announcement has not yet reached them.
Delhi-NCR school holiday tomorrow
Schools in Delhi, Noida, Ghaziabad and Gurugram are expected to remain open on September 7 unless a separate order is issued.Rain and thunderstorms are possible across the National Capital Region, with waterlogging potentially affecting some roads.
There is currently no blanket holiday announced for the entire Delhi-NCR region. Individual schools or local administrations could, however, issue advisories or closure notices if conditions become severe.
Parents should check their school's communication channels before starting their commute.
Himachal Pradesh schools: Will they remain closed?
Himachal Pradesh is another rain-sensitive region where school operations can depend heavily on local conditions.Heavy rainfall can increase the risk of landslides, falling debris, road blockages and disrupted transport, particularly in hilly areas.
As a result, local administrations may announce district-wise school closures where travelling to school becomes unsafe. Individual schools could also shift classes online if weather conditions significantly affect accessibility.
There is no basis for assuming that every school across Himachal Pradesh will be closed on September 7. The final decision depends on local government orders and school-level notifications.
Uttar Pradesh school holiday tomorrow
Several parts of Uttar Pradesh are expected to experience rain, with isolated areas potentially receiving heavy rainfall.Schools are generally expected to function normally unless the concerned district administration issues a closure order.
District-level authorities can take precautionary action if flooding, waterlogging, damaged roads or other weather-related risks make travelling unsafe.
Parents in low-lying or flood-prone areas should therefore check their district administration's latest announcement rather than relying on a statewide holiday message.
Bihar, Jharkhand and West Bengal
Schools in Bihar, Jharkhand and West Bengal are generally expected to remain open on September 7.Rain and thunderstorms may affect several areas, but there is no blanket indication that schools across these states will be closed.
As elsewhere, local authorities can still order schools to shut if severe weather causes flooding, dangerous roads or significant disruption to transport.
What should parents check before sending children to school?
Because weather-related school closures can be announced at short notice, parents should check:- Official school WhatsApp groups, SMS or apps
- The school's website or latest circular
- District Magistrate or district administration announcements
- State education department notices
- Local weather warnings
- Road and transport conditions in their area
Similarly, if there is severe flooding, a landslide or an unsafe road situation near the home or school, safety should take priority over attendance.
Disclaimer: School closure decisions can change rapidly depending on weather and local conditions. Students and parents should verify the latest notification issued by their school, district administration or relevant government authority before travelling to school.
