Increased chance of seeing the aurora during October 10th & 11th. This is due to enhanced geomagnetic conditions caused by anticipated CME arrivals. Those in Scotland, northern England and Northern Ireland have a better chance, assuming clear dark skies #aurora

Keep your eyes to the sky tonight: we're seeing signals of a G4 (out of 5) geomagnetic storm, which means chances of seeing the aurora are good, assuming clear skies. The best time to see them is late PM to the early hours of tomorrow. Keep track here: geomag.bgs.ac.uk/data_service/s…

Next 24 hrs - ACTIVE. Two Coronal Mass Ejections are heading our way and could increase geomagnetic activity up to STORM G2 levels with a slight chance of isolated STORM G3 periods.

Next 24 hrs: Increased chance of seeing the aurora during 31 Dec-01 Jan due to enhanced geomagnetic conditions caused by two possible CME arrivals. Assuming clear, dark skies, those in Scotland, northern England and Northern Ireland have the best chance. Happy New Year!

There are confirmed sightings of the aurora around the UK right now. If you have clear skies in your area then look up and you might just get a display of the Northern Lights to welcome in 2025! Aurora activity update via: geomag.bgs.ac.uk/education/curr… 📷: @mgs_geog

Next 48hrs: Increased chance of seeing the #aurora over the weekend due to incoming solar activity. A coronal mass ejection (CME) is expected late 22 or early 23 (GMT/UT). Keep track of current activity: geomag.bgs.ac.uk/data_service/s…

Next 48 hrs - STORM. Expecting two incoming coronal mass ejections ( CME ) from two filament eruptions over the last weekend. These predicted to arrive later today or early on 16. STORM periods are likely to follow.

STORM expected this evening and over the coming days. Two incoming Coronal Mass Ejections (CMEs) later today and into tomorrow will result in enhanced geomagnetic conditions. Aurora may be visible with clear dark skies, especially northern UK.

The anticipated coronal mass ejections have arrived. A geomagnetic storm is expected over the coming hours if conditions persist. Aurora sightings are possible.

Reports of aurora overnight due to the STORM G4 geomagnetic storm. Another X5.1 full halo CME is on the way leading to possible STORM G5 conditions. Aurora sightings likely tonight assuming some clear skies.

UK braced for what could be the largest solar storm in over two decades. 📽️ Animation of SOHO LASCO Coronograph imagery showing the coronal mass ejection (CME) associated with the X5 solar flare. The scintillation is due to energetic particles hitting the sensor (NASA/ESA).
