School and University Closures

Government schools and universities across Kandy and Nuwara Eliya districts have announced closures due to prevailing adverse weather conditions. Academic activities have been suspended to ensure student and staff safety during the extreme weather period.

Kandy and Nuwara Eliya: where a light drizzle triggers a full government shutdown, but somehow the bus drivers still show up asking "are we going or what?" The University of Peradeniya's suspension notifications drop faster than the actual weather—by the time you read post four, half the students have already shown up anyway.
