Brace yourself, Tamil Nadu! The skies are grumbling and pouring heavily on November 28, 2025, thanks to Cyclone Ditwah swirling nearby. To keep students safe, several districts have sounded the holiday bell for schools. Ramanathapuram District Collector Simranjeet Singh Kahlon has declared a holiday for all schools in the Rameswaram block thanks to the heavy rains. Meanwhile, Tiruvarur district is taking no chances; Collector V. Mohanachandran ordered a school holiday in the afternoon, suspending all classes after a half-day morning session. Not just Tiruvarur! Mayiladuthurai and Pudukottai districts are also joining the half-day holiday club for both schools and colleges, as confirmed by District Collectors H.S. Srikanth and local administration in Pudukottai. The sudden downpour and warnings mean many students get an unexpected break, while authorities gear up for what lies ahead. Cyclone Ditwah has now settled over coastal Sri Lanka and the neighboring southwest Bay of Bengal. But don't be fooled—it is ready to shower intense rainfall over the delta regions and surrounding districts, especially on this very Friday. The Regional Meteorological Centre (RMC) has issued a yellow alert for five south coastal and delta districts, including Ramanathapuram and Thanjavur. The weather team isn’t taking any chances and has also issued orange and yellow alerts for nearby districts like Ariyalur and Cuddalore, signaling potentially stronger weather. So, whether you're in the heart of the delta or along the coast, be alert and stay dry! With rains pouring and schools closed, keep an eye on weather updates. After all, when Cyclone Ditwah is in town, it spells wet, wild weather for Tamil Nadu.
