Field notes

Andhra Pradesh coastal-port-city, often called Vizag. Same e-Tourist visa story as Mumbai. Beach Road and MVP Colony are the dense walkable pockets. Coworking is thin compared to Bangalore or Hyderabad (a handful of spots). The structural advantage is the Bay of Bengal coast — sea breeze keeps summers materially cooler than inland Andhra. Tropical coastal climate; cyclone season (October–November) is the local weather event. Genuinely cheap.

Bay of Bengal coastal moderation keeps Vizag materially cooler than inland Andhra — summers cap around 30°C rather than 42°C+. Cyclone season (October–November) is the structural local weather event with occasional severe storms. Winter (November–February) is the comfort window with mild dry days.
