Should discussions on aurorae in this ng be marked [OT] as they are

not

weather related ?


Hi, Gianna,

Not that silly, really and I've wondered that myself. The Met Office
asked climat. stations to not bother reporting aurora some years ago
IIRC. I no longer report them on my monthly return forms although I was
asked to when I began co-operating with the Met O in the 1960's.
Occurrences were also noted in the marvellous Monthly Weather Report.

I like the aurora, btw, and we are treated to quite a few beauties here
in the dark northern skies. It's always so cold when they are "on",
though.

HTH,


Thanks Ken. I like them too and was saddened to have missed any that may
have been visible over recent days - I was not able to get out to look. I
did see the usual rash of posts here (after the event) and then wondered
my question ... I may get to see one again in the future and would want to
report it correctly.
