FAQ

Jiangmen: quick answers

Is there a geomagnetic storm in Jiangmen today?

No — the field is quiet. Kp is 0.7 right now, and the next 72 hours peak near Kp 3.0 around Sat 11:00 AM local time. Kp 5 or higher would count as a storm.

Can you see the northern lights in Jiangmen?

Realistically no. At geomagnetic latitude 13.5° the auroral oval stays far away even in strong storms — a sighting would take a once-in-decades event.

Is the Kp index different in Jiangmen?

The Kp index itself is planetary — one number for the whole Earth. What changes is how strongly a place feels it: at Jiangmen's geomagnetic latitude (13.5°) we estimate the effective exposure at about ×0.68 of the planetary value.

How can a storm affect how people feel in Jiangmen?

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.
