The geomagnetic field over La Marsa is quiet. The planetary Kp index is 1.7 — about 1.5 as effective local exposure at this latitude — and the next 72 hours should stay comfortable, peaking near Kp 3.0 around Sat 04:00 AM local time.

La Marsa sits at geomagnetic latitude 37.4° — and that latitude, not the city itself, decides how strongly a storm is felt: we estimate local exposure at ×0.9 of the planetary Kp. Auroras become plausible here from about Kp 9. All times on this page are shown in La Marsa local time (UTC+1).
No — the field is quiet. Kp is 1.7 right now, and the next 72 hours peak near Kp 3.0 around Sat 04:00 AM local time. Kp 5 or higher would count as a storm.
Can you see the northern lights in La Marsa?
Realistically no. At geomagnetic latitude 37.4° 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 La Marsa?
The Kp index itself is planetary — one number for the whole Earth. What changes is how strongly a place feels it: at La Marsa's geomagnetic latitude (37.4°) we estimate the effective exposure at about ×0.9 of the planetary value.
How can a storm affect how people feel in La Marsa?
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.
