The aurora borealis did not appear in Slovakia after all. Here is an explanation of why – TVNOVINY.sk

Anyone expecting a unique celestial theater remained disappointed. There was no view of the aurora borealis in Slovakia. According to forecasts could appear from night from Saturday to Sunday, but conditions were not appropriate.

As the portal approaches iMeteo.sk, there are two possible reasons why this happened. Apparently, only the edge of the coronal mass hit our planet.

However, this is not enough for the occurrence of aurora borealis in our latitudes. The second possibility is that the arrival of coronal mass was delayed more than originally expected.

Shortly before midnight, the portal expected the glow to appear. But there was one problem that worsened the possible visibility of aurora borealis, and that was the moon. “It starts to come out at 00:07 and significantly worsens the conditions for observation. It will be very difficult or impossible to see the aurora borealis from Slovakia, “he said. These predictions were finally fulfilled.
