Yes - there is variance. See the link below which shows 4 different measurements of K. For your paths, planetary, although it's an estimated number, is probably just as applicable but once it stays above 5 for 12 hours or more, the difference between one 3 hour measurement of 5 vs is probably not meaningful - the damage is done regardless. Predictions look like tomorrow will also be bad as there are two different coronal holes.
