Should Summer Vacation Be Extended? Here’s What Weather Forecasts Suggest
Due to the presence of a weak Western Disturbance, there is a possibility of rains in a few areas on 18 July. Even if rains don’t occur, temperatures are still expected to come down tomorrow.
But what about afterwards?
From 19 July onwards temperatures are expected to rise again and may peak around Saturday & Saturday – reaching 34°C.
The current forecasts are also suggesting possibility of cloudy weather, along with the possibility of a monsoon shower in between during the next week. Thus, keeping the day temperatures below 33 – 34°C.
So, should Summer Vacations be Extended?
No, it will probably be not a right call to extend summer break. Temperature of 34°C or even 35°C is common during summers and can occur even in August and sometimes even in September. But, every time, we can’t declare summer breaks.
We should rather get used to such temperatures and the government should also work on upgrading infrastructure of schools like installing of 1 Fan at least in every classroom.
