The geomagnetic field over São Sebastião do Paraíso is quiet. The planetary Kp index is 0.0 — about 0.0 as effective local exposure at this latitude — and the next 72 hours should stay comfortable, peaking near Kp 2.7 around Sat 03:00 AM local time.
São Sebastião do Paraíso sits at geomagnetic latitude -12.7° — and that latitude, not the city itself, decides how strongly a storm is felt: we estimate local exposure at ×0.67 of the planetary Kp. Auroras become plausible here from about Kp 9. All times on this page are shown in São Sebastião do Paraíso local time (UTC-3).

No — the field is quiet. Kp is 0.0 right now, and the next 72 hours peak near Kp 2.7 around Sat 03:00 AM local time. Kp 5 or higher would count as a storm.
Realistically no. At geomagnetic latitude -12.7° the auroral oval stays far away even in strong storms — a sighting would take a once-in-decades event.
The Kp index itself is planetary — one number for the whole Earth. What changes is how strongly a place feels it: at São Sebastião do Paraíso's geomagnetic latitude (-12.7°) we estimate the effective exposure at about ×0.67 of the planetary value.
Research is mixed, but many weather-sensitive people report headaches, fatigue or restless sleep during elevated activity. It is a possible correlation, not a diagnosis — the forecast above shows when the sensitive windows are, and a symptom journal shows whether they matter for you.
