   Peak Geomagnetic Activity is expected between 06 and 09 UTC with a Kp Index of 8.33 (G4 on the G-Scale).

   "The K-index quantifies disturbances in the horizontal component of earth's magnetic field with an integer in the range 0-9 with 1 being calm and 5 or more indicating a geomagnetic storm.

   The label 'K' comes from the German word 'Kennziffer' meaning 'characteristic digit.' The K-index was introduced by Julius Bartels in 1938."
