School Holidays June 2026: With temperatures soaring across several parts of India, state governments and school administrations have announced extended summer holidays for students. The decision applies to CBSE, ICSE, government, and private schools in multiple states as authorities respond to the intense heatwave conditions affecting North and Central India. 

The India Meteorological Department (IMD) has issued warnings about severe heatwave conditions returning to several regions. Keeping student safety in mind, schools in Delhi NCR, Uttar Pradesh, Haryana, and other states have either extended or announced long summer vacations for June 2026. 

Delhi NCR Schools To Remain Closed Till Late June 

Schools across Delhi NCR, including Noida, Gurugram, Ghaziabad, and Delhi, are expected to remain shut until June 30 or the beginning of July. The extended break has been introduced due to rising temperatures and concerns over student health during peak summer conditions.
