Track the Northern Lights with a live current and upcoming KP index a precise 3?day forecast and a 27?day outlook for early planning. See cloud cover and moon brightness to find the darkest clearest viewing window.

 

The lower left picture shows the current global Kp index provided by the GFZ Potsdam. A live image of the sun from the Solar Dynamic Observatory (SDO) satellite is part of this window.

 

Understand the Kp index scale in real time. See what Kp values mean for aurora visibility where northern lights are visible and why Kp alone is not enough.

 

This is a preliminary Kp-index that is updated every minute by the NOAA SWPC with an estimate of the measured Kp of the past 3 hours based on eight ground-based magnetometers around the world.

 

The planetary 3-hour-range index Kp is the mean standardized K-index from 13 geomagnetic observatories between 44 degrees and 60 degrees northern or southern geomagnetic latitude.
