Aurora tonight?

[jrastro]

Looking through the forum, I have seen that there was a fantastic aurora last night.  I was just wondering if there was any chance at all of it being visible from southern England tonight.

I haven't had any alerts at all this afternoon yet. Yesterday I got loads of storm force alerts.

Looking unlikely. Keep an eye on this site:

Sadly I rely on their email alert service and didn't get a warning last night. They have admitted something went wrong, which is decent of them!

I'm not sure what went wrong with aurorawatch.lancs.ac.uk last night - I only knew about the display from a tweet from Kielder Observatory saying someone could see it from Newcastle..

Keep an eye SGL too. Disscusion started here fairly early on.

Got my original e-mail alert from SpaceWeather.Com

POLAR GEOMAGNETIC STORM: Today, March 6th, Earth is entering a stream of solar wind, and the encounter has sparked a G1-class geomagnetic storm.  Inside the stream, magnetic fields have a negative polarity--a condition which favors auroras.  High-latitude sky watchers should be alert for Northern Lights.  Visit Spaceweather.com for more information and updates.

Frustrating to see complete novices on my local facebook page posting aurora pics from last night. Grrrr.....

[Beulah]

Very gutted to have missed it too. Northern horizon is completely obliterated by a mountain, so I have to go a fair way to see it.

Here is a live camera in Shetland, guess what you can see CLICK HERE

Very little visible from Crieff tonight, earlier there was a definite glow but that's gone now....clouds are coming in.
