Today we have a good KP Index and im looking this formations by the eye moving, how strong has to be the substorm to see it by eye during the summer sky?

There are northern lights in the daytime as well as in the night time. It’s like stars: they are there 24/7, but in the daytime it’s too bright to see them.
Usually you’ll see the stars before you see any aurora, and it’ll be distinctly green. I guess it could be possible, but it would have to be insanely strong. Like geomagnetic storm-strong. I’m no expert though, I’ve only lived in Northern Norway for 30 years
I believe they’re called clouds
Looks like a normal sky to me
It’s impossible to *see* the aurora with the naked eye/regular cameras during daylight. You might be able to see them if you had a device that allowed you to see different UV wavelengths, but I’m not sure if that works *from earth*.
The only time I think it could be minimally possible to see aurora during daylight would be during a Carrington event and that would be… *bad*. Bad enough that you very likely won’t be posting on reddit anymore. Even then, I’m not sure if you could see them. Either way, I’d rather not find out.
