Schools across Tamil Nadu have been closed following heavy rainfall that hit the state on Monday. The decision was made to ensure student safety as roads became impassable and flooding disrupted transportation. Authorities reported that the rainfall was the heaviest in the region this season, leading to widespread disruption.
The affected areas include major districts such as Tiruvannamalai, where schools were among the first to close. Local officials confirmed that the rain began in the early hours and continued for much of the day. In some areas, waterlogging made it impossible for students to reach school, while others faced power outages.
This is the second time this year that heavy rainfall has forced school closures in Tamil Nadu. Last month, similar conditions led to the temporary shutdown of over 800 schools. Experts warn that the region is experiencing an unusual weather pattern, with monsoon rains arriving earlier than usual. The government has urged residents to remain cautious and avoid unnecessary travel.
