School holiday September 1 2025: According to notifications issued by various state departments, schools will be closed today, September 1 due to continuous rainfall and IMD weather warnings. Earlier school holidays were announced until August 30 which now remain cancelled due to unfavorable weather, putting staff and student safety first. Following new severe rain warnings, several states—including Punjab, Himachal Pradesh, and Jammu & Kashmir—have extended their school holidays to ensure that vulnerable areas are adequately prepared.

The 10-day Onam holiday break, which falls with the continuous rains in other areas, is the reason Kerala schools are still closed, despite the fact that monsoon disruptions have forced closures in the majority of states. This mix of weather-related and festive closures has significantly impacted academic schedules.
