Sources are evenly split — IFFA does not pick one.
“Best-supported” is not a guarantee of truth. Earlier figures stay on the timeline.
IFFA synthesises this brief from the reporting and primary records listed below. Every factual statement is linked to its evidence; a sentence that cannot be traced to a source is dropped before publication. This is a synthesis of what the sources say — not a verdict on whether every claim is true.

How the coverage differs
- Thunderstorm accompanied with Lightning and Squally winds (45-55 kmph) gusting to 65 kmph is very likely to occur at iso
- Thunderstorm accompanied with Lightning and Gusty winds (40-50 kmph) is very likely to occur at isolated places over HYD
- · Tamil-language coverage: too few articles (0) to compare emphasis.
- · Local / Tamil Nadu outlets: too few articles (0) to compare emphasis.
- · Political alignment: INSUFFICIENT DATA — IFFA's observed-alignment calibration is below the sample threshold, so cohorts are not shown. Language and local/national differences are shown instead.
Counts, not a “% true”. A press release is evidence that an institution stated something — not automatic proof it is objectively true.
Evidence strength (internal ranking): 30/100 — what this is
Evidence strength — an internal ranking of how well-supported the claims are. NOT a probability that the story is true.
- independent corroboration: 0
- primary evidence: +25
- source reliability: +15
- claim agreement: 0
- contradiction penalty: 0
- single source penalty: -10
- correction penalty: 0

Blindspots
Where one group of sources covers this far more than another. A blindspot is a fact about coverage, not about whether the story is true.
No significant coverage asymmetry detected across language, region, ownership or source family.
