Any clear skies ? AuroraWatch UK · AuroraWatch UK AURORAWATCH.LANCS.AC.UK See the aurora borealis from the UK

Was this about 20.00 ?

Anyone know why the radar stopped showing precip type? Another month and it will be the reverse as the sea generates convection, weakening as it moves inland.

Last night it was picked up in Scotland, but it was not very active. This tripod and phone mount seems ok for the price. I'm not sure what phone you have. Or how much you can spend on a tripod. https://www.amazon.co.uk/JOILCAN-Aluminum-Extendable-Lightweight-Smartphone/dp/B09XJT7FP8/ref=mp_s_a_1_3?adgrpid=53301619916&hvadid=578501116784&hvdev=m&hvlocphy=1006589&hvnetw=g&hvqmt=e&hvrand=8748376829658417389&hvtargid=kwd-301659729010&hydadcr=9317_2197695&keywords=tripod+for+smart+phone&qid=1695197342&sr=8-3 YouTube tips Aurora with phone.

Cameras can collect a lot more light than we can see. If your phone has a night setting it should help, and some thing to hold your phone still. I didn't see anything last night, with 15 second exposure the camera collects more light.

A few photos from the 18-9-23 The clouds stayed away long enough to get some shots 21.20-22.00. As it clouded up around 22.15 the Aurora levels dropped right back.

Aurora being picked up in southern England now.

Clouded out, but as the wind shifted to SW sky cleared a bit. Can see distant lightning towards March/Peterborough.

Fractus city here

Really **** annoying!!

Any visibility there? Fully clouded over all day in the SE

Nice shots , it's all fizzled out now!

Looking on blitzortung, the trough due to head into southern UK, is marked out as an arc of strikes from the channel isles to France.

Couple of flashes on the Dawlish beach cam

Looking downwind it's rather quiet. The closer to the south coast tomorrow the better it would seem. Plenty of rain around though.

Seems to be some convergence there. Most likely just showers. A few strikes are possible though.

He will no doubt update the outlook later today/tomorrow. I think Cambridge getting up to 32C helped fire those storms quite rapidly. The arome did have that convection in a similar place on last Saturday's run. Slight chance of a shower/storm north of London this evening I'd say.

This site is usually quite reliable for convective outlooks. Perhaps this may change to more a favourable forecast in the next few days.

Seems like the Welsh storm turned right.
