Parts of eastern Uttar Pradesh are expected to experience rainfall under the influence of the weather system. The IMD forecast includes the possibility of heavy rainfall in isolated locations, although conditions may vary considerably between districts.

No statewide school holiday for October 30 has been confirmed in the available reports. District administrations may issue separate instructions if rainfall, waterlogging or unsafe road conditions disrupt school transport.

Students in Lucknow, Varanasi, Gorakhpur, Prayagraj, Kanpur, Noida and other cities should check their respective school announcements. Any closure should be confirmed through an official district notice or school communication.

Bihar is among the states covered by the forecast for heavy to very heavy rainfall at isolated places. The broader rainfall outlook extends through October 31, meaning local weather conditions may remain unsettled beyond Thursday. Despite the rainfall warning, no statewide school closure for October 30 has been confirmed in the available reports.

Parents should monitor district administration announcements, especially in areas where intense rainfall could affect roads, school buses and access to school buildings. School managements may issue local instructions depending on the severity of the weather.
