Aurora Outlook Tonight
The latest KP index is 1, with real-time geomagnetic activity at 1.33. This means aurora activity is currently very weak (KP 0–2). In addition, full cloud cover may limit visibility tonight.
While northern lights are unlikely this evening, spring in West Iceland can still surprise us. If clouds break overnight and activity increases, staying away from artificial lights will always give you the best chance.
