Where to see the aurora in Poland
Maybe — stay ready.
Kp is 0.0. Gdańsk needs Kp 8+ for the oval overhead — right now it’s not reaching Gdańsk.
Tonight's peak is forecast around Kp 5.3 (Minor storm). The forecast still depends on darkness, cloud and the moon at your exact spot.

northern lights forecasts in Poland
The Kp figure beside each city is the geomagnetic activity its latitude needs before the aurora climbs into view — lower is better. But a strong Kp is never the whole story: you also need a dark sky, clear weather and little moonlight. Our live forecast folds all four together for any spot, and the where-to-see guide explains how far the oval reaches.
