Magnetic storms in Kosonsoy

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

Kosonsoy sits at geomagnetic latitude 33.5°. The nearest magnetic observatory continuously recording the field is Tashkent (Yangibazar), 161 km away. Population 50,900.

Magnetic storms and health of Kosonsoy 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 Kosonsoy 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 Kosonsoy during the last 24 hours. Kp reached a maximum of 2.7 around 05:00 local time and dipped to 1.0. The planetary trend over the past 6 hours is steady — no sharp changes near Kosonsoy right now. So far this month the planet has logged 3 days with a G1 or stronger geomagnetic storm.

Aurora visibility threshold for Kosonsoy. At a geomagnetic latitude of 33.5°, the minimum Kp giving a realistic chance of visible auroras above Kosonsoy 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 Kosonsoy right now. Temperature +21.2°C, atmospheric pressure 686.4 mm Hg (915.1 hPa), cloud cover 34%, humidity 50%, wind 10 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 Kosonsoy page shows both indicators side by side. Weather data from Open-Meteo (CC BY).
