Pune Rains: Schools Closed Today, Will 16 September Also Be a Holiday?

Heavy rain since last night has disrupted daily life in the city. Roads are waterlogged, traffic is moving very slowly, and trees have fallen in several places. Because of these unsafe conditions, many schools in Pune, especially in the Hadapsar area, have declared a holiday today, 15 September 2025.

Heavy Rainfall in Pune

The nonstop rainfall has flooded many areas, making travel difficult. The Pune Municipal Corporation (PMC) has asked people to step out only if it is absolutely necessary. Buses and cars are stuck in traffic on several major roads.

Weather Warning by IMD

The India Meteorological Department (IMD) has issued an orange alert for Pune and nearby districts like Mumbai, Thane, Raigad, Beed, Ahilyanagar, and Latur. The forecast says there will be heavy to very heavy rain with strong winds of 40-50 km/h.

According to IMD,"In the next three hours, places like Pune, Solapur, Ahilyanagar, and Beed may see winds up to 50 km/h, with rain, thunderstorms, and lightning."

Will Schools Be Closed Tomorrow, 16 September 2025?

Right now, schools are closed only for 15 September 2025. There is no official update yet about whether schools will remain closed tomorrow, 16 September 2025.

The decision will depend on how much it rains tonight and the advice given by the weather department. Parents should check school messages, local news, or PMC updates for confirmation tomorrow morning.

Parents are relieved that schools have taken this step, as it ensures children do not have to travel on flooded and slippery roads.
