Description: This is the page for you if you want to keep track of whether there will be northern lights in the near future.
KP 1 | G 0 | 383.7 km/sec | Bt 7.104 nT | Bz 5.511 nT
KP index gives us an indication of the width of the auroral oval and how far south the aurora can be observed. The higher the KP value, the greater the chance of seeing aurora.
The Bz value measures the direction of the solar wind’s magnetic field when it reaches Earth, and a negative Bz value can lead to stronger auroral activity. High solar wind speed and high proton density can also increase the chances of seeing aurora.
