Hi,
Looking at the aurora maps, there seems to be an aurora happening way up north of
Ireland, kp=6.
Is anyone else, especially up north seeing anything ???

Too much patchy cloudy around south Dublin to tell. Mind you any cloud north of me and the reflected light pollution would blot out anything but a very strong aurora.

Looked, but saw nothing, geographically at a disadvantage here I reckoned.
