Aurora Forecast Tonight
The last measured KP index is 1, with real-time geomagnetic activity also at 1. This means aurora activity is currently classified as very weak (KP 0–2). While the northern lights are unlikely to be strong tonight, conditions can always surprise us — Iceland’s skies are full of wonder.
