On July 27, schools remained open in most Indian states despite the India Meteorological Department's forecast of heavy to very heavy rainfall due to a depression over the Bay of Bengal. However, schools in Odisha's Jagatsinghpur, Mayurbhanj, and Kendrapara districts closed as a precaution amid red alerts for extreme rainfall. Jammu and Kashmir schools reopened after extended summer vacations.
