Is Tomorrow a Holiday for Schools in Chennai?
Schools in Chennai have officially declared a holiday by District Collector due to Cyclone Ditwah’s approach and expected landfall, bringing heavy rain and strong winds.

Under the influence of Ditwah, heavy to very heavy and even extremely heavy rainfall is likely over districts such as Cuddalore, Nagapattinam, Mayiladuthurai, Villupuram, Chengalpattu, Chennai, Kanchipuram, Tiruvallur, Ranipet and others, along with strong winds in the range of about 70–75 kmph gusting to near 80 kmph over north coastal Tamil Nadu and Puducherry.
This combination of intense rain, flooding risk, and high wind speed is the main reason officials are considering or declaring school holidays to protect students.
What Chennai Parents and Students Should Do
For Chennai specifically, the article and related updates stress that while closure is expected because the city is in the high–impact belt, parents and students should not rely only on social media posts or general state-level news. Instead, they should:
Check SMS, WhatsApp groups, or circulars from their own school management late this evening or early tomorrow morning.
Follow updates from the Chennai district administration, the Tamil Nadu School Education Department, and trusted news portals for any official rain-holiday announcement.

Information about school holidays on 2 December is based on weather forecasts, administrative updates, and available reports at the time of writing.
