Magnetic storms in Kyzyl-Suu

Magnetic storm in Kyzyl-Suu today: planetary Kp = 1.0 (G0). Over the last 7 days the maximum Kp above Kyzyl-Suu reached 5.7 (G1); storm days (G1+) this week: 3.

Kyzyl-Suu sits at geomagnetic latitude 34.0°. The nearest magnetic observatory continuously recording the field is Alma-Ata, 129 km away. Population 15,075.

Magnetic storms and health of Kyzyl-Suu residents: at Kp ≥ 5 weather-sensitive people may experience pressure swings, headaches, sleep issues. Especially pensioners and people with hypertension should watch the forecast. During a storm — hydrate more, avoid alcohol and strong coffee, avoid intense physical load.

Technical consequences for Kyzyl-Suu at G3+: GPS, HF radio and precise positioning systems may glitch. Drivers on long routes should watch the forecast for the next 24–72 hours. Data source: NOAA Space Weather Prediction Center, refreshed every 10 minutes.

Over Kyzyl-Suu during the last 24 hours. Kp reached a maximum of 2.7 around 06:00 local time and dipped to 1.0. The planetary trend over the past 6 hours is steady — no sharp changes near Kyzyl-Suu right now. So far this month the planet has logged 3 days with a G1 or stronger geomagnetic storm.

Aurora visibility threshold for Kyzyl-Suu. At a geomagnetic latitude of 34.0°, the minimum Kp giving a realistic chance of visible auroras above Kyzyl-Suu is about Kp ≥ 9. The current equatorial Dst index is 0 nT — the magnetosphere is in a quiet phase. Dst complements Kp by showing how long and how deep a storm's main phase has been — useful context when checking whether auroras are likely tonight.

Weather and atmospheric pressure in Kyzyl-Suu right now. Temperature +13.3°C, atmospheric pressure 620.2 mm Hg (826.8 hPa), cloud cover 0%, humidity 63%, wind 9.4 km/h. During G1+ geomagnetic storms, swings in atmospheric pressure tend to amplify symptoms for weather-sensitive people: those with hypertension often notice blood-pressure spikes, and readings below 1000 hPa combined with Kp ≥ 5 frequently bring headaches and fatigue. That is why the Kyzyl-Suu page shows both indicators side by side. Weather data from Open-Meteo (CC BY).

Aurora viewing window for Kyzyl-Suu tonight. Sunset is at 22:39 local time, sunrise tomorrow at 08:53. Moon phase — first quarter with 49% disk illumination. Clear sky and low moonlight make the window favorable — with enough Kp, the aurora may be visible even from within city limits..
