Aurora Alert now!

[OhYouBadBadKitten]

if you have clear dark skies looking to the north, go outside now! Even reportedlyvisible from some parts of southern England.

What are the predictions for tonight? I completely forgot this was happening so went to bed! 😅

Good chance for a repeat tonight, but maybe not as strong.

I'd gone to bed but DS woke me as he was seeing posts online. Great show in East Yorkshire just from our house. Better than we saw in Iceland!

Radio news said that tonight's aurora would be best from 11pm onwards.

Also in Hampshire, I posted to say maybe it was too early etc but in the end at around 11:30 it was really clear to see, amazing!
it’s pretty cloudy here now where I am but hopefully it will disappear this evening and we will get another good show, tempted to drive up to the army land nearby where it will be darker but it’s a bit of a scramble and I’m currently nursing a damaged ligament in my leg so perhaps not the best idea 😂

Another one who went to bed! Absolutely gutted. Fingers crossed for tonight. I’m south so a bit worried about the reports saying it may only be visible in the north. Will give it a go though.

Me too @Countrylife2002

@Mothership4two ive got two apps ready! I’m such an idiot I read about it but didn’t really believe it !

My friend on the Isle of Wight posted photos so it was visible very far south.

Same here it was just another thing on my long list of things to remember which I forgot 😅

DD and I are kicking ourselves this morning as we missed them last night. The one time we actually went to bed early.

Not sure if it's worth going out late tonight in South East Kent.
The sky isn't as blue as yesterday. Looks pale grey hazy all day.
Yet it says clear skies on forecast.

Geomagnetic activity has totally dropped. So won't see much unless it changes. I go by the graph on Aurora watch https://aurorawatch.lancs.ac.uk/
NOAA predicting more incoming tomorrow, but think it will be too cloudy.
The stars were aligned last night, to have clear skies and only a sliver of moon.

I think it’s at a similar level to this time yesterday…

Cloudy here so no point in staying up

Looking promising here ! Red alert

@Countrylife2002 I am surrounded by lights in my estate and they don't go off until 12! I hope you see something!

I could only see them through my phone camera last night, so held the camera up to the sky just now and took this picture- I thought it was some sort of galaxy.

not a galaxy

@CarolineFields , I realised it was a spider web 😂
