Aurora visibility threshold for Bazar-Korgon. At a geomagnetic latitude of 33.2°, the minimum Kp giving a realistic chance of visible auroras above Bazar-Korgon 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 Bazar-Korgon right now. Temperature +25.8°C, atmospheric pressure 699.7 mm Hg (932.9 hPa), cloud cover 0%, humidity 38%, wind 5.5 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 Bazar-Korgon page shows both indicators side by side. Weather data from Open-Meteo (CC BY).
