Or not so Northern now. Has anyone seen them here in GB the last few nights? I keep being teased by pretty pics online but still forget to stick my head out the window at midnight. |

Someone here messaged me an *amazing* photo of the northern lights first thing this morning. She’s in Canada though, right enough …
We’ve got no chance of seeing them tonight. It’s clouded over and raining already. |

"It was too overcast here when they were all being see. Curse the North Yorkshire winter evenings..  "
I wondered of it would sort of glow through or over the cloud or if it did have to be clear skies? |

I keep seeing amazing pics on facebook of people in this little rubbish town of mine seeing them, never quite sure if its fake or you need a special camera. Boo for the rain, our country is pretty crap isnt it for sky watching. |

"Apparently visible from Somerset two nights ago, dammit! I’m getting the app back on my phone…"
Find somewhere high and dark to stand and point your phone upwards  |

We were driving back to West Yorkshire 2 nights ago at 11.30pm…got home and went to bed.
Woke up the next day with so many photos on my local Book of Face page showing the Northern Lights in full glory seen right over our little town… 
FML!

"Midnight? ….
I’ll be flaked out by 9:30.
I thought I would post now, my eyelids are heavy already.
This is why I keep my eyes open when I snog…..  "
Keeping one eye on the skies  |

Should be as there is g1 storm in northern hemisphere.
And yes you can see aurora through cloud cover if its particularly strong.
You need to set your phone to night mode; take flash off and minimize other light. I take them on my phones, my cameras, etc.

Dammit, It might become a more regular thing, I dont know the science behind it, but more late night drives needed. It would be amazing to see. |

"I've seen so many photos on local social media pages but haven't managed to see them in person. They certainly look fabulous."
I keep seeing loads of beautiful pics too, but dont know anyone who has seen them in person yet |

You can go to the NOAA website here: https://www.swpc.noaa.gov/products/aurora-30-minute-forecast
And it shows you a model of the potential or ongoing forecast for aurora. Your best bet is to always start here to do your planning, and watch social media but the big one is always going to be solar flares. If theres lots of sun activity, we will get auroras. |
