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.

Wow, that’s amazing! Where are you?

Nothing in Essex, but I'm so happy with OYBBK infectious enthusiasm, I don't care!

Nice one @buddhasbelly

Not for me either, South London here :(

I can see a red star, prob Venus

Amazing pics. Thanks for the heads up. Can't see anything here sadly (Northants /Beds border)

Just a shot in the dark, but I am guessing @Hebridean is from the Hebrides.

Fabulous!

sadly nothing here is Berkshire although we have clear skies..

@HeavenIsAHalfpipe do you mean the one on the Aurora Watch page? There is a fair bit of pink on there, I'm not sure that is just hopeful viewing, it has been seen as far south as Kent.

Well I did think that but thought I should check incase born there but now lives elsewhere!

North end of Skye. So going strong here but I've had to retreat inside for a while, I'm freezing now.

I should probably go to bed shouldn't I? But what if it suddenly puts on an amazing display and I've slept through it?

Other way round actually, born elsewhere but fortunate to now live here.

Aww I missed them merrily dancing tonight!

West Yorkshire. Can see a glow that isn't usually there but nothing exciting. Too many clouds.

Another alert if people are still looking

Isle of Harris… right now

Glad I asked then 😁.
Beautiful place to live and lucky you to see the lights this evening, albeit freezing in the process!

If you are on Facebook have a look at the Glenelg-Skye ferry page as someone has posted the most amazing photos looking across the water to Skye. I am too far south in Wilts and am a bit too low down so won't see a thing, but shall just check whilst letting the dog out for her wees. Posting a link though not sure if it will work

Yeah that's the one. Doesn't look like aurora. (to me anyway.) Loads of peoples pics do, but a few don't,

Anglesey 20 minutes ago

moon's in the other direction though? definitely not just a moonlit sky, I'm used to those.

That's what I am worried about. 😆 I need to go beddybyes. I have to be up at 7!

Photo…

I know the moon is 'the other way' but people could still be pointing the camera towards the sliver of clouds under it that when they're lit up, look a wee bit aurora-ish. (But they are not aurora.) JMO, but some pics are not the aurora.

There is no guarantee the pics some people are posting are facing north.

As I say, most pics are aurora for sure but some aren't. (IMO.)

I'm not sure what that is user!
