Absolutely fantastic here in Stowmarket area.
Have taken some stunning photos in last hour or so, first time I've ever seen them! |  | | |

Bum! I missed this, was out for the count last night? Hopefully the geomagnetic storm that caused it is still going and they're visible again tonight! |  | | |

I can't attach photos, but I live just north west of Cambridge and they looked amazing. Never seen them before.
Stunning. [Post edited 11 May 8:24]

I've enjoyed Northern lights many times over the years, though probably not as much as a nice afghan kush. Perhaps one day we'll be able to openly share photos eh. |  | | |

Absolutely stunning. It’s been on my bucket list to see them and finally last night I did
You could see them with naked eye moving - and I did get some great pics too

It can be a hit and miss. I’ve seen them a few times in Iceland and it can often involve a lot of patience and a sore neck! |  |

Not to mention looking North & a clear sky in that direction!
Anyone know if they're definitely likely again tonight? Got the Aurora Alerts app, but they don't seem to forecast more than about 30 minutes ahead? |  |

They were visible East, West and directly overhead here last night but the sky was very clear at that point. | |

They covered the entire sky In every direction last night
Tonight they are allegedly visible again but I’m not sure as strong. The forecast tends to only be short term so I find that Twitter / x searches tends to be a bit more reliable
Than just looking up and hoping .
Also I alert for posts from this lot.

We took our children on a 24 hour trip to Lapland a few years ago and our guide told me that apparently the experts can't forecast any more than 20-30 minutes (leading to many unhappy visitors).
According to this BBC article, all of the essential ingredients should be in place for another show tonight, so I suppose this is as good as it gets!

In actual fact the KP level is that high you’d see them right now in the U.K.
(Unfortunately the big sun sort of prevents that)
But it’s a big geomagnetic storm that’s hitting the earth right now, which should persist all weekend
Chances are that tonight will be decent (tommorow storms are due in , certainly here) So tonight could be decent
Keep an eye on that Twitter site and also this site, which is a visual representation (but it’s got a lead/lag time so I find Twitter is better)
