Maharashtra School Summer Vacation 2026: Maharashtra schools are still dealing with a hot and rough summer in 2026. Because temperatures are staying high in many places, many schools are keeping summer holidays going and some already changed class timings before the break.
According to a Maharashtra school holiday list for 2026-27, the main summer vacation is from 02 May 2026 to 18 June 2026, and schools are expected to reopen on 19 June 2026. Some schools may follow slightly different dates based on their own calendar and local rules.

Before the vacation started, several schools in the state shifted to early morning hours so children would not have to sit in the worst afternoon heat. One report noted that Maharashtra school timings were moved to around 7:00 am to 11:15 am during the heatwave period.

The holiday pattern is being followed by many kinds of schools, including government schools, private schools, Army Public Schools, Air Force schools, and central schools such as Kendriya Vidyalayas. The main reason for the break is safety, since extreme heat can cause dehydration, tiredness, and heatstroke in children. Heatwave conditions across India in April and May 2026 pushed many states to change school hours or extend holidays, and Maharashtra was part of that wider response.
Here is the simple city-wise picture in Maharashtra.
- Mumbai: Schools are on summer break during May and June 2026. The city is hot and sticky, so holiday schedules are being followed to keep students safer.
- Pune: Schools are closed for summer vacation, and some had earlier changed school hours before the break because of rising temperatures.
- Nagpur: Schools are observing summer holidays because the city has seen very strong heatwave conditions.
- Nashik: Schools are following the summer holiday schedule, with some institutions like Podar Nashik listing 01 May 2026 to 03 June 2026 as summer vacation and 04 June 2026 as reopening for students.
- Thane: Schools are on annual summer break, and reopening can change if weather advisories say so.

Too much heat can make children sick very fast. Schools and education offices are trying to keep students safe by avoiding the hottest hours of the day and by keeping the vacation period in place until the weather becomes more manageable. Across Maharashtra, the same pattern is being seen in most government, private, Army, Air Force, and central schools.
