Songjianghe sits at geomagnetic latitude 33.6° — and that latitude, not the city itself, decides how strongly a storm is felt: we estimate local exposure at ×0.87 of the planetary Kp. Auroras become plausible here from about Kp 9. All times on this page are shown in Songjianghe local time (UTC+8).
Is there a geomagnetic storm in Songjianghe today?
No — the field is quiet. Kp is 1.0 right now, and the next 72 hours peak near Kp 2.7 around Sat 02:00 PM local time. Kp 5 or higher would count as a storm.
Can you see the northern lights in Songjianghe?
Realistically no. At geomagnetic latitude 33.6° 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 Songjianghe?
The Kp index itself is planetary — one number for the whole Earth. What changes is how strongly a place feels it: at Songjianghe's geomagnetic latitude (33.6°) we estimate the effective exposure at about ×0.87 of the planetary value.
How can a storm affect how people feel in Songjianghe?
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.
