Thanks for the heads up 👍. Saw a fantastic display to the naked eye where we are in Angus, with columns and curtains, greens and reds. Too nice for me to waste time getting the DSLR and setting it up when I could just enjoy them.

Proper jealous, the app has been pinging at me tonight but no chance near me in Yorkshire, slightly gappy cloud with drizzle here, and looks to be the same all the way to the highlands. If I thought there was a big gap in the clouds somewhere in the north of England I'd be in the car by now with a camera and a flask.

Very jealous. Just recently spent 5 nights in Iceland and didn’t see a thing.

Northern England under extensive cloud cover tonight. Good luck if you find a gap but most of Scotland clear all evening. Twitter went nuts.

Angus here too; stunning display. One of the best. No pics, too busy enjoying and trying not to get too cold.

It was visible to the naked eye - been all over local FB and Insta. I’ve used the Glendale app before

Cheers for posting scotroutes ,it made me decide to drag myself to the hills for a better look.
Not bad over the Angus Glens,mostly green but a braw night.
It was nice to see a lot of other folk out doing the same thing,at least ,I think that's what they were doing 😉
I must get the AuroraWatch alerts set up again.

From my bathroom window in Troon. Just about visible to the naked eye. If I’d realised it was going to be that good I’d have gone somewhere darker 😎

Still there. Visible to the naked eye but the phone certainly enhances it.

Missed it because I'm over at work but it looked like an especially vibrant night in St Andrews:

Is there a way to forecast the aurora?

Yup,Sun spots

It's your local weather that is the tricky bit.

In quite a vague way.
The other issue is the combination of weather or daylight - so many times your get at alert for orange or red levels and it's bright sunshine or cloudy.

Guy from Lancaster uni just on R4, says it was visible as far south as Somerset and the quantocks! Viewable from Fylde coast as well which is my neck of the woods, I had no idea. Apparently worth keeping eyes peeled again tonight, it was a particularly large ejection from the Sun!

Is that tweet a spoof? I am not sure that Crowborough has a snowy hill and Girraffe(?) at present...

I'm sure the producers at GMB know what they're doing. If they think giraffes are wandering past the snow-flecked peaks of East Sussex, who am I to argue?
