Parents across Andhra, Telangana and Kerala are tracking Thursday’s rain holiday question for November 5. This live watch prioritises verified district circulars, IMD warnings, and education department notes. Expect early morning refreshes with collector orders, class ranges, and timings. Use them to plan travel, attendance, exams, and childcare.
As of 10 pm on November 4, IMD Kerala flagged heavy rain risk for Thursday. Post‑cyclone Murasu, Andhra’s coastal belt retains a widespread rain outlook into Thursday. Telangana signals a taper, though thunderstorms remain possible. Parents should anticipate waterlogging or traffic delays in vulnerable pockets during school hours.
IMD alerts and district risk map for Nov 5
IMD guidance indicates rain persisting across Andhra on November 4–5, with heavier pockets likely. The advisory highlights Palnadu, Prakasam, Kurnool and Nandyal for stronger spells. Kerala’s Met Centre maintains a Day‑3 heavy‑rain tag for Thursday. Telangana listed two districts under red alert Tuesday; Thursday trends weaker but watch thunderstorms.
Collector and education department orders with timings
Andhra’s election note keeps only polling‑station institutions shut on November 4–5. Regular schools continue unless district orders say otherwise. For example, Nellore municipal areas were told to function normally on both days. Check district collector handles between 6–8 am for stamped PDFs and class‑wise applicability before leaving home.
City‑wise status: Hyderabad, Vizag, Vijayawada, Kochi, Thiruvananthapuram
Hyderabad shows easing by Thursday, so schools generally operate unless fresh morning advisories appear. Vizag and Vijayawada sit near lingering rain bands around the weakened system; monitor DEO posts. Kochi and Thiruvananthapuram stay under heavy‑rain caution; final decisions usually arrive at dawn via collector channels and local education offices.
6–8 am verification checklist and helplines
At 6–8 am, confirm five things. One, district collector or DEO post. Two, school SMS or app note. Three, IMD district nowcast or warning page. Four, transport status. Five, whether your campus is a polling station. For emergencies, reach SDMA or district control rooms using 1070 or 1077.
We will publish any fresh, district‑stamped orders from 6 am on November 5. If routes are unsafe, document conditions and inform your school, even without a formal holiday. Exams proceed unless the university or board issues a notice. Keep children first, and add travel buffer on waterlogged routes.
