> Note that the sunlight during the night North of about 62 degrees

> A high index of 5 has already begun and the aurora is not visible
> from PA (where the auroral forecaster is located now), but only
> because of clouds on the north horizon. Observers in Tasmania and
> southern New Zealand should see it on the southern horizon.
