We had intense aurora in Berlin, Germany. Green clouds dancing in the sky levels. Started around 22:10 local time or a bit earlier, and at this point there's only a faint red/green glow remaining.

Yeah, there were auroras even as far south as Munich. Maybe not as intense, but it's the first aurora I ever saw, so I can't really judge...

  I am south-west of Munich and with a perfect clear sky I could only see stars, one meteor, and that's it.

    We also had them in Grenoble, south of France.

    It was visible in the 22:00-23:00 time window. Here in the south west, the sky started turning green around 22:30.

Could you see it from the inner city or only closer to the edges?

  Friends who live in Kreuzberg and Friedrichshain could see it pretty well. I'm a bit further south within Berlin where skies are minimally darker, but between 10pm and 11pm it was so bright that light pollution didn't matter. Funnily enough, despite having lots of alerts set up it was my mom who texted me from northern Brandenburg as she spotted it after getting an alert from RegenRadar, of all apps...

    It's amazing to hear it's visible in such a big city. I don't have a good intuition for all the metrics that describe how strong this storm was/is, but when put like this it hits home. Nice to hear earth weather apps also work great in space haha. I'll keep that in mind when I set up my own notifications. Hopefully I have time to look into it before the next storm hits.

Just spend an hour outsite (Northern Germany, 01:00 MET). Unfortunately nothing to report, neither visual nor on camera. Maybe I just went to late and missed the show. I hope you habe more luck in Canada and the US!

  It's pretty subtle right now here in NL but I can still see it with the naked eye. Mostly greenish haze that fades in and out.

    ahh I just went outside (south of Utrecht) and saw nothing. Maybe too much light pollution.

      I'm lucky in that I was close to the IJsselmeer.

I was just out at a dog park and saw nothing! We have clear skies. I can't believe I missed this.

  Next time take a long exposure picture with your phone. You might be able to see it that way.

I tought I was seeing aurora borealis here at 4 am local time in the neighboring Grand Duchy of Luxemburg but it was just visual pollution due to lights from a city.
madduci 8mo ago
Can confirm, I've seen pink/green glow over Berlin Sky (and pictures as well)

Oh really? Oh no I missed it! Is it going to happen again today?
