▸About magnetic storms: Canary Islands

Magnetic storms in Canary Islands (Spain) today: planetary Kp = 1.7 (G0). The database holds 4 cities in the region with live geomagnetic data and forecasts.

Pick a city from the list to see detailed information: local time, geomagnetic latitude, distance to the nearest magnetic observatory, 3-day Kp chart with forecast and aurora visibility chance. All cities in Canary Islands use the same planetary Kp, but the local impact is computed individually per coordinates.

How a magnetic storm may manifest in Canary Islands: at Kp ≥ 5, weather-sensitive people can have headaches, blood-pressure swings, sleep disruption. At Kp ≥ 7, GPS navigation and shortwave radio may glitch. At Kp ≥ 8 — power-grid issues. Data from NOAA SWPC, updated every 10 minutes.
