What sort of bad weather are we talking about here? Also, is this due to the commute becoming difficult/impossible in the weather, or because the facilities/lecture theatres are leaky/poorly constructed, or something else?

For Kerala, its heavy rains. Flooded roads with open drains and deep potholes, bad electricity poles and transformers, lines touching trees etc. Engineering and business college norms require sturdy buildings and a few AC rooms.

Interesting, thanks!
