Delhi Schools Closed Tomorrow? Check October 13 School Holiday, Rainfall and Protest Update

Delhi School Holiday Tomorrow: Parents and students in Delhi-NCR are checking whether schools will remain closed on Tuesday, October 13, 2026, amid heavy rainfall, waterlogging and continuing protest-related restrictions. However, no school holiday order for October 13 has been confirmed so far.

Delhi witnessed heavy rain and thunderstorms on Monday morning, with waterlogging reported in many areas. At the same time, security restrictions and traffic diversions have been imposed in many parts because of the ongoing protest and planned march towards the Supreme Court.
