VERY LARGE increase in local activity, possible SSC.

Red alerts usually indicate high probablity of Aurora Borealis, so if you're out and about later on tonight, take the odd glance upwards, especially if you're further north - displays often start with a light glow in the sky and can grow to something spectacular. I know we've been through a quiet period, but I did see a fairly spectacular display flying over Greenland a couple of weeks ago.
Ooh excellent - I'm going for a night ride up over the Peaks. Maybe Ill get lucky
Thanks for that!
pfft this time of year the sky above swindon is black from all the burning mattresses and you can't walk along the great wall of swindon as its closed for sanitation.
Cracking, thanks. I remember seeing them when we were in Grizedale forest a few years back - couldn't work out what the hell it was at first as we never expected them to be visible so far south. Awesome sight
I'll look out as well. Saw them once nearly thirty years ago; saw something out of the car window and pulled over. My mate asks what's up, so I say just get out and tell me if I'm seeing things. We stood by the side of the A4 near Avebury for ten minutes at one am with our mouths open at this amazing display the aurora put on. Incredible, one of the most amazing things I've ever seen.
Thanks, another reason for going riding.
Saw them from Struie Hill above a cloud inversion about 6 years ago, one of the most amazing things I have ever seen.
I am in scotland, is there more chance that I will see them? Is it as soon as it gets dark or at a specific time?

Yes - the further north the better.
Time is variable, the earliest I know od someone seeing something was around 6PM, but that show peaked around 10PM Around midnight seems to be best
"Yes - the further north the better"
I'm in Northern Sweden - 240KM North of Arctic circle - clear sky during today, will look out tonight.....

only seen the aurora once but really want to see it again.
We are very sorry for today's false alert which was due to man-made
disturbance at our Lancaster field site.Regards,
