Space Weather Overview
From NOAA Space Weather Prediction Center
| Kp Index | Geomagnetic Storm Level |
| Kp=5 | G 1 (minor storm) |
| Kp=6 | G 2 (moderate storm) |
| Kp=7 | G 3 (strong storm) |
| Kp=8 | G 4 (severe storm) |
| Kp=9 | G 5 (extreme storm) |
Note that since the Aurora is located in the high levels of the atmosphere, it can be seen somewhat farther south than the plot indicates. A G 5 magnetic storm (Kp=9) can produce auroras that are seen as far south as Texas and Florida.
