Northern lights

[Jessey]

So we're 40 hours into a predicted 96 hour storm which means the northern lights should be able to be seen from the UK (if the sky is clear), the North has more chance that any of us down south, has anyone spied them yet? I saw them years ago in the US, I'd love to catch another glimpse though

Just been outside to have a look - no sign here (East Yorkshire) but judging by the wet stuff that fell on my head I'm guessing the sky is not clear! Shame, I'd love to see them too.

 

[Jessey]

I found the same, way too much cloud cover for even a chance, perhaps tonight.....

 

[Wally]

see them a lot here, but I always like a good show

The aurora app was flashing this morning!lol was it meant to be happening last night?! I was in bed by ten thirty. Mind you, I did see a lovely cruise ship all lit up the night before from my bed.

 

[Jessey]

it is happening all the time at the moment, until tomorrow I think, its just you can't see it in the day, when its cloudy, the moon is bright or if there's light pollution, early morning is meant to be the best time to see it as there's less light pollution then

I'll have to look tonight. I have seen them once since moving up here but only sort of vaguely and briefly as it wasn't a good night, it was a little over cast.

 

[joosie]

I've seen them twice. So pretty!

 

[GaryB]

I'd love to see them. I've been to lot's of places where they can be seen, but always at the wrong time of year...

 

[Jane&Ziggy]

Damn, typical, it's cloudy. Not that we see them this far South.

There was chatter that they might be seen faintly as far south as cornwall, so you might get lucky if the crudy weather clears later

 

[Trewsers]

Amber alert just came up on the ipad app.

 

[popularfurball]

I'm working nights... but it's just rained relentlessly all night!

 

[Jessey]

The clouds cleared here but I couldn't see anything, planned to go look again early this morning but didn't remember until after it got light

 

[domane]

It was cloudy here too. Dom and I went outside hopefully at about 11.30 to have a peep (we get gorgeous views of the stars thanks to the darkness where we live and little light pollution) but no joy....

 

[Trewsers]

Nothing here last night.

 

[Jane&Ziggy]

Only a moon in my sky

*sings* "The Northern lights are in my mind, they guide me back to yooooou..."
