Georgia: it depends on where you are and on tonight's sky. Milton needs about Kp 7; Savannah needs about Kp 8. On top of that it takes a clear, dark sky — cloud blocks aurora at any Kp. The table at the top of this page has tonight's forecast city by city.
What Kp index is needed to see the Northern Lights in Georgia?
Georgia has no single number. The higher the Kp, the further from the pole the auroral oval reaches, so the threshold rises with distance from the pole: Milton needs about Kp 7, Savannah about Kp 8. Each city's page gives its own threshold.
What are the best months to see the Northern Lights in Georgia?
The best months to see the Northern Lights in Georgia are typically September to April, when nights are darker and aurora viewing conditions are better.
Where is the best place to see the Northern Lights in Georgia?
