The geomagnetic field over Siirt is quiet. The planetary Kp index is 1.0 — about 0.9 as effective local exposure at this latitude — and the next 72 hours should stay comfortable, peaking near Kp 3.0 around Sat 06:00 AM local time.

Siirt sits at geomagnetic latitude 33.7° — 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 Siirt local time (UTC+3).
No — the field is quiet. Kp is 1.0 right now, and the next 72 hours peak near Kp 3.0 around Sat 06:00 AM local time. Kp 5 or higher would count as a storm.
Can you see the northern lights in Siirt?
Realistically no. At geomagnetic latitude 33.7° 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 Siirt?
The Kp index itself is planetary — one number for the whole Earth. What changes is how strongly a place feels it: at Siirt's geomagnetic latitude (33.7°) we estimate the effective exposure at about ×0.87 of the planetary value.
How can a storm affect how people feel in Siirt?
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.
