KP6 solar storm

[Woody girl]

I don't know if this is the right place for this but tonight there is forcast a kp6 solar event which means that the northern lights should be visible tonight as far south as Glasgow and Edinburgh. Possibly a bit further south. So this is a heads up to go out with your cameras and get some neat photos. If anyone gets some photos it would be great to see them. Good luck you lucky northerners. Sorry can't edit title which should read kp6 not kpm6. Dam phone can't spell!

So it should be very beautiful up here in the Arctic! Pity we have a storm now, cloud 10/10.

Saw a good one last week monday. The first one wife has ever seen!

Sadly I won't get further North than Manchester so I hope people get some photos and share them

Above your post do you have a button that says Thread Tools?

You should do, it allows title edits.

Unfortunately I’m tucked away down in West Sussex so not much chance of seeing them.

I saw them very faintly once when I lived in Bognor. I had no idea what the shimmering was and put it down to railway sparks reflecting off the clouds. I caught the news the next day which said an unprecedented solar event had occurred and the Northern Lights were visible almost everywhere.

After a week of sunny warm days and clear nights, we now have overcast for a week predicted.
Never mind. The sun rotates in about 30 days. That sunspot might spew for a month and we can try again.
Someday, I hope that you all get to see the Aurora Australis. Kind of wispy.

Thanks mate. done it. ...I'm a complete stupid when it comes to this sort of stuff. Still I'm slowly learning.

What a shame! Turned out that the CME wasn't aimed at Earth, afer all.
These gyus are fiar predictors and have a gallery so you can see what you missed.
True fact = at the high of a sunspot cycle these images are what we see.
