Aurora Borealis red alert for the Uk tonight.

[Jokester]

Last update I have at 10pm is 667nT, so 3x the red alert level.

Yeah it's getting spammed unsurprisingly. Over the last couple of hours it's jumped from orange to a solid red though.

Will refresh this thread and hope someone let's me know if it's worth standing in the garden or not

I really don’t think it’s happening again tonight. The live coverage map is showing barely 50% chance as far south as Iceland compared to yesterday where we were already at 100% chance down past the midlands.

You did look up did you?

Here’s the current map showing percentage chance. Ignore the callsign prefix plots.

No it involves looking up aswell. I made a mistake yesterday by not switching my phone on to take a picture of it

My friend left his lens cap on, decided there was no aurora and went to bed .

He was a bit unhappy this morning...

Unless you’re in Australia, in which case have to look down.

Been there withe the old film camera

Definitely saw it yesterday thanks to this thread - however the pics are BS. Someone literally posted in the group where I used to live "take a photo to see it properly!" because it enhanced the crap out of the colours. Photos are all BS.

And then it’s aurora australis.

Or look out your window reaaaally hard / far.

Because that’s how seeing works.
