It depends on latitude: St. Pierre & Miquelon's cities sit between geomagnetic 55.4° and 55.4°. 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.
The Kp index is planetary — the same for all of St. Pierre & Miquelon. What differs is the effective local exposure (3.2–3.2 at the coming peak) and the timing, which each city page shows in its own timezone.
