Where our data comes from
Every live figure on Vizag.live, its source and how often it updates. When a source is down we show nothing rather than guess.
Sources
News headlines
Twice a dayThe Hindu (Visakhapatnam), Times of India, New Indian Express and The Hans India RSS feeds
We show the headline and link to the publisher; an AI model sorts stories by topic.
Official alerts
Every 30 minutesNDMA SACHET (IMD, CWC and AP State Disaster Management Authority)
Shown as issued, until the issuer's own end time. The banner shows nothing when no alert is active.
Rainfall
Twice a dayAP Development Planning Society real-time rainfall
24-hour rainfall at stations in and around Visakhapatnam.
Power outages
Twice a dayAPEPDCL (Eastern Power Distribution Company)
Shown only when APEPDCL publishes planned outages.
Mandi prices and MSPs
Twice a dayAgmarknet (Directorate of Marketing & Inspection, Ministry of Agriculture)
Andhra Pradesh wholesale averages per quintal over the last three days (Visakhapatnam-area markets report too few sales to quote). The market price of an MSP crop is shown only when at least 5 tonnes were traded. If a fetch fails, the last snapshot stays with its date, and nothing is shown once it is a week old.
