22C and Northern lights

10 May 2024 Aurora borealis view in Newport

At 3 pm, Furnace in Newport reported a temperature of 22C. I'd say we had the same. The skies were clear and there was a sun flare that hurtled to the earth creating a massive aurora borealis display over Ireland. Alex and I forgot to look. I am so dejected. Above is my friend's photo. 

The flare has been upgraded to 5 out of 5, so the strongest in a long time and could disrupt GPS and other electronic signals and devices over the weekend. Sadly, it's to be cloudy all weekend or we might be seeing more lights for days.
