Worth checking the skies tonight across much of England, Wales, Northern
Ireland and Scotland as a large geomagnetic storm hit the Earth this
afternoon and is still producing a very strong display of Northern
Lights.


Was 8/8ths cloud at 1800 but by about 2100 had cleared but too much
fine low level mist, the constelations were clear but the Milky Way
masked even overhead. I think I might have seen a brief curl or
something moving but that was all.
