For info, an aurorawatch amber alert is a reasonable chance of northern lights making a show tonight. Possibly visible as far south as the north of England, although further south I understand there’s some fireworks.

And there was me thinking of looking for the contrials of alledged secret planes belting across the skys! Northern lights though, that would be cool to see. Not sure what will be brighter in Oxford, Northern Lights or London!

Any chance of seeing them from the SOuth Downs..

I’m serious.

I wouldn’t have thought so – you might on a red alert though

Not much more info here

Wasn’t that this morning?

Good question, wasn’t that this morning? I got all excitied for a moment. Just like the whole Oakley thing all over again.

There have been amber alerts all week.

Wasn’t that this morning?

yes but the alert is for solar activity which can mean lights that night

druidh – that’s only my second this week
