Hyderabad, August 12, 2025 — The Telangana government has issued precautionary directives in anticipation of the heavy rainfall forecast across the state. Due to the impact of a Low-Pressure Area (LPA), which is expected to bring torrential rains, schools within the GHMC area will operate for half-day on August 13 and 14.
Simultaneously, full-day school closures have been ordered in the following districts:
- Warangal
- Hanamkonda
- Yadadri Bhuvanagiri
- Mahabubabad
- Jangaon
Impact of LPA on Telangana Weather
The LPA over the region has intensified the south-west monsoon currents, resulting in widespread rainfall activity from August 12 to 16. Originally forecast for August 14–17, the heavy rain window has been brought forward due to rapid weather developments. The Telangana Weatherman has issued a “flooding rainfall warning,” indicating that rainfall between 150–200 mm may occur in parts of South and East Telangana during August 12–13, while a similar impact is expected in West and Central regions on August 14–15 .
School Calendar Amid Heavy Rains
In light of the forecast, educational institutions under GHMC jurisdiction will run on shortened schedules, allowing students and staff to avoid travel during peak hours of expected heavy precipitation.
Conversely, in the listed districts, authorities have opted for holidays, prioritizing student safety in flood-prone zones.
Safety Measures and Advisory
Parents, students, and school staff are advised to:
– Monitor local school bulletins or official announcements for updates on reopening and schedule changes.
– Stay alert for localized flooding, waterlogging, and disruptions in public transportation. Avoid travel during peak rainfall periods.
– Ensure mobile phones are charged and emergency contact numbers ready.
– Adhere to instructions from disaster response agencies and local authorities.
The state government and disaster management teams have reinforced preparedness measures, including chronicling vulnerable zones, deploying rapid response teams, and ensuring safe evacuation routes near schools and transit points.
As Telangana braces for a sustained spell of heavy rains, these school schedule adjustments reflect a cautious and proactive approach to protect students and educational infrastructure.
