Each cell is the night that starts on that date. Hours are civil-dark time with the moon below the horizon; the green rule scales with them. Green outline: new moon. Bone outline: full moon.
Activity in past Julys
Myyrmäki needs Kp 5 for the average oval edge to sit overhead. 81 of the 930 July days from 1996 to 2025 (9%) reached it in the GFZ Potsdam record, 8th of 12 months; storm days with Kp 5 or more made up 9%. Myyrmäki sits at 57.8 degrees geomagnetic. By SWPC's rule the average oval edge is overhead at Kp 5, and aurora is usually visible on the northern horizon at G1 (Kp 5) or less.
