Many areas across India — especially in northern and northeastern states — are seeing a big cold wave and heavy fog, forcing local governments to close schools and warn people to stay careful until the weather improves. The Times of India+1
Weather agencies say that a drop in temperature, dense fog in the mornings, and strong winds in some places have made travel risky and outdoor air very chilly. The Times of India+1 Because of this, many schools have decided to give students a short holiday — so kids don’t have to travel far in cold, and parents don’t have to worry. Business Standard+1
For kids and their families, this means some unexpected free days — but also a chance to be extra careful: wear warm clothes, cover your face if it’s foggy outside, and avoid going out when it gets very cold. Even when at home, it’s good to stay warm — with clothes, blankets, warm drinks — especially if little kids or grandparents are around.
The break in school also shows how weather can change our daily life, not just for grown-ups but for school, friends, and fun. It’s a reminder that sometimes, nature calls for a pause so everyone stays safe.
If you like, you could use this time to learn about weather — ask your teacher or parents what causes cold waves or fog, why air becomes chilly, and how people can protect themselves. Maybe you’ll even track weather changes yourself (with help from an adult) and see how seasons affect where you live.
Kid-Friendly Summary:
A cold wave and heavy fog across many parts of India have forced schools to close — giving kids a break, but also reminding everyone to stay warm and safe.
Learning Takeaway:
Weather affects our lives — sometimes bringing surprise holidays, but also reminding us to respect nature, stay alert, and protect ourselves, especially in cold or foggy times.
