Northern Lights

[redman41]

Should be quite spectacular if the Skies remain clear as it is normally not seen in Britain.
I have seen the Northern Lights a couple of times but that was in Canada.
Will keep my eyes peeled tonight just in case.

Not sure about best times Prudie, best thing is to keep your eyes peeled as if they start up they should last a fair while.

[redman41]

I have no idea pusskin, best weather is a clear frosty night.

such a shame for every one if we cant get to see it all. sob sob what a pity

I've seen them twice, very briefly.
Once was in the Orkneys about 10 years ago, and once off Whitby about 20 years ago. Both occasions were for a few seconds

[redman41]

Still no luck seeing anything as it has been too cloudy, not very promising for tonight either as rain is promised.
Hope someone else has had better luck than me.
Fortunately have seen them in all their glory a couple of times but that was in Canada.

Have seen them a few times, living in the North East of Scotland, but would love to see them in the arctic circle where they are spectacular
