FAQ

North Korea: quick answers

Which cities in North Korea feel geomagnetic storms the strongest?

The higher the geomagnetic latitude, the stronger the effect. Among the listed cities the most exposed are Namyang-nodongjagu, Namyang, Onsŏng.

Can you see auroras in North Korea?

It depends on latitude: North Korea's cities sit between geomagnetic 29.2° and 34.5°. 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 North Korea?

The Kp index is planetary — the same for all of North Korea. What differs is the effective local exposure (2.2–2.4 at the coming peak) and the timing, which each city page shows in its own timezone.
