Schools close in parts of India due to heavy rain from a Bay of Bengal low-pressure system.

Schools in Puducherry, Karaikal, and several Tamil Nadu districts including Chennai, Chengalpattu, and Kancheepuram will close on October 22, 2025, due to red and orange weather alerts. A low-pressure system in the Bay of Bengal is expected to bring extremely heavy rainfall, with some areas facing over 20 cm in 24 hours. Authorities have activated emergency preparedness measures, including relief camps and equipment readiness, as flooding and travel disruptions are likely.
