FAQ
What Kp index do I need to see the northern lights in Vardø?
In Vardø, even quiet geomagnetic conditions can be enough for aurora overhead.
This is based on magnetic latitude, and Kp index is a global geomagnetic index, so treat it as a rule of thumb, not a location-specific guarantee.
Tonight, the NOAA Kp index forecast is around 3.7. You should have a good chance of seeing the aurora if the sky is clear.
