How is Kakinada's AQI calculated?
The Air Quality Index combines PM2.5, PM10, NO₂, SO₂, CO and O₃ readings from CPCB-monitored stations into one 0–500 score, using whichever pollutant reads worst as the overall number rather than an average of all of them. Today the dominant pollutant driving that number in Kakinada is CO. Kakinada's current AQI of 341 falls in the "Very Poor" band (301–400).
Is Kakinada's air quality safe today?
Not fully - Kakinada is at Very Poor today (AQI 341). Avoid outdoor exertion. Wear a mask outside; sensitive groups should stay indoors.
Why does 28°C feel like 30°C in Kakinada?
"Feels like" factors in humidity and wind on top of the actual air temperature. At 68% humidity and 12 kph wind, Kakinada's air right now feels hotter than the thermometer reading - high humidity slows sweat evaporation, so your body sheds heat less efficiently than the raw air temperature alone would suggest.
What are today's petrol and diesel prices in Kakinada?
Petrol is ₹118.10/L, diesel ₹105.70/L, for Kakinada. Fuel prices are revised daily and can vary slightly by station. The base crude and refinery cost is the same nationwide - state VAT and cess are what make petrol cheaper or pricier just across a state line.
Why does Kakinada's gold price match the national rate?
Gold is one national spot rate, not set city by city - Kakinada's price tracks the same international gold market and the day's USD/INR exchange rate as everywhere else in India.
Are banks open in Kakinada today?
Yes - banks in Andhra Pradesh are open today. Next closure: Janmashtami/Krishna Jayanthi, 4 Sep.
What is Rahu Kalam in Kakinada today?
Rahu Kalam in Kakinada today runs from 3:53 PM to 5:29 PM. Hindu tradition treats this window as inauspicious for starting new ventures, travel, or important decisions.
Why Check Kakinada's Weather and AQI?
