Was today an aurora visible here?
Checking
NO
No — the geomagnetic field is quiet (Kp 1.7), far too weak for aurora over Ohio, though the sky is nearly cloudless.
Why
- Kp now 1.7; no geomagnetic storm in progress
- Peak Kp past 24 hours: 4.3, short of the ~7 needed here
- Cloud cover 1% — clear skies, wrong solar weather
