Just had a phone call from a mate in Truro - she tells me that there is a
fine aurora in progress there.
C'mon clouds - move it !!!

It's the next storm - CME impact at around 1700.
Awaiting the latest (1800) K index from NOAA but suspect it will be an 8
or
9.

Sadly it's overcast here with rain..

The aurora started tonight at 1720z before it even got dark. Activity
was due north and consisted of a bright red curtain with rapidly moving
red rays ascending from it. Not sure whether this is the residue from
yesterday or the precursor of the next storm. The next few hours will
tell the story and maybe the unfortunates from last night will get a
viewing tonight. Broken cloud and a light NE wind.
