What can these numbers tell us?
Geomagnetic activityKp describes planetary geomagnetic disturbance, not the brightness of an aurora overhead.
Local weatherCloud can obscure the sky. The cloud forecast is an hourly model estimate for Reykjavík, not an observation of the sky at your location.
VisibilityDarkness, location and conditions matter. The 27-day outlook is a trend, not a calendar of guaranteed sightings.
Sources and interpretation
