Magnetometer Stack Plots from Scandinavia (ordered by latitude)
Geomagnetometer activity at rvk (Rorvik, 64.95N), dob (Dombas, 62.07N), sol (Solund, 61.08N) and kar (Karmoy, 59.21N) stations are used as indicators for potential auroral activity that may be visible from my Observatory situated at latitude 57.32N
Data from Finnish Meteorological Institute (FMI), Tromsų Geophysical Observatory (TGO) & DTU Space (Technical University of Denmark)
(Data site : Tromsų Geophysical Observatory - Geomagnetic Data, See Map of Geomagnetic Stations )

Estimated 3 hour Planetary K-Index (NOAA)
(K indices of 5 or greater indicate storm-level geomagnetic activity around earth)Previous planetary-k-index.gif picture is no longer available due to changes in how NOAA now present the graphic data. Graph has to be accessed through
web app at https://swpc-drupal.woc.noaa.gov/products/planetary-k-index.
