I’m on the south coast, so there’s basically 0 chance of me seeing it without using long exposure photos somewhere very dark.
Ah, good point.
I’ve just managed to get the red pillars up here, but they’ve very, very faint. The strong moon isn’t helping.

I think if it holds above 1000 nT (whatever that means…) then it is possible to see it down here, but extremely rare. If need to go sit on a hill somewhere in the cold looking north for a few hours 
Some pretty mad winds down here on the south coast. Really odd though. Almost still, and then sudden intense gusts out of nowhere!
Mental in the new forest, trees coming down everywehre
It’s a wee bit blowy up here, but we’re only talking 30-35 mph gusts, nothing special.
And frankly you can keep it down your way too - the noise would keep me awake!
We’re easily in the 50-60 mph gusts here at the moment!
Time for a spot of kite surfing?

First thunderstorm of the year!
We’ve had some pretty crazy squalls yesterday and today. Not really seen anything like it before, until this year where it seems to keep happening.
Beautiful sunny and fairly calm days, but out of nowhere we seem to get insane hail, heavier than I’ve seen before with 50mph gusts and a 5C drop in temperature. Then 10 mins later, back to beautiful sunshine!

It’s obviously too light right now, but BBC Weather are saying there’s a good chance of seeing auroras tonight, and the Aurora Watch is agreeing

Got a while yet until it’s dark enough. It rarely stays up high in the red for too long. Although I’m happy to be proven wrong!
Been watching MWIS and forecasts over the last week; hoping to get a decent weather window over Brecon Beacons. Must’ve pleased the weather Gods as they paid out and gave us a brilliant day on the tops! #win
