Was October 24, 2026 aurora visible tonight in Columbus?
NO
No — the Kp index is 2 with no geomagnetic storm, far below the Kp 7 Ohio would need.
Why
- Planetary K-index 2 at 00:00 UTC, storm level none
- Past 24h peaked at Kp 4.33, aurora stayed Arctic
- Clear skies over Columbus, but nothing to look at
