FAQ

Egypt: quick answers

Which cities in Egypt feel geomagnetic storms the strongest?

The higher the geomagnetic latitude, the stronger the effect. Among the listed cities the most exposed are Sīdī Barānī, Marsá Maţrūḩ, Al Burj.

Can you see auroras in Egypt?

It depends on latitude: Egypt's cities sit between geomagnetic 21.3° and 29.8°. The closer a city is to the auroral oval, the lower the Kp it needs — each city page shows its own threshold and tonight's estimate.

Is the forecast different across Egypt?

The Kp index is planetary — the same for all of Egypt. What differs is the effective local exposure (2.2–2.5 at the coming peak) and the timing, which each city page shows in its own timezone.
