What is Kp?
- Kp is a 0–9 scale for how disturbed the Earth's magnetic field is. The higher the Kp, the further south the aurora reaches.
- Here in Jokkmokk you normally need about Kp 2 for the aurora to reach the sky.
- Clouds beat everything: with an overcast sky even a strong storm stays invisible.
