Noctilucent Cloud season 2021

[Rush2019]

A thin white band/line appeared sometime between 2 and 3.15.  Lost track of time, quite chilly up in the hills.

Could see it for a time at Sutton before the mid level cloud went and 'ate' it. Had a bit of kelvin helmholtz too illuminated by the limited visible NLC (not that noticeable in this longer exposure).

Nothing like Friday night's display. Pics at the Malahide Estuary.

Beautiful shots you got there, congrats, the sky looks good for tonight until about 2-3am'ish, good to see someone local :D.

Thanks for sharing.

Just took a look at sat24.com, yeah you are under a sheet, a clearance is pushing south, will it be enough in 4-5hrs time, it's hard to predict at times.

Thanks

Thanks Raindrops, the colder it is, the clearer the skies.  Glad of the chill though to keep me awake, kept having a sit in the car without the heating on.  I hung around after the band of NLC s disappeared because the first glows of sunrise out east were stunningly clear, I stood and watched it for a little while, we live in such a beautiful world.

why?.... what has surface temps in the UK got to do with mesospheric clouds 50 miles above the arctic?  We get cloud in the troposphere regardless of temps... id have thought surface pressure would be more of a player than temps. Higher the pressure fewer the cloud as a a generalisation.

The air quality is better for photos. Smog doesn't hang around as much.

Yeah I only stay around for the first half after that I become a bit tired. Maybe in July I'll hang around longer as the display lasts longer. 

 

You're right we do live in a beautiful world, some fail to see it.

Just as I type here I have NLC right above me

Camera has confirmed legit NLC to the east of sunset.

Plenty of tweets of UK sightings tonight. Sadly clouded out here. #noctilucentclouds

NLCs visible from Howth tonight.

Oooo .... a nice clear night coming up   and a  3 day old Aim that, to me, is screaming a low bright display

Good luck all

with a bit of luck tonights aim will be out by 9pm, they do seem early on mon and tues

 

[BruenSryan]

Lidars look good for tonight if you manage clear spells. No chance here with the cloud coming from the west (already has come). 

[Arnie Pie]

It will be interesting if the the solid bank at the 3 day out area will still be there when the latest Aim is released

there has been a lull in Solar activity this passed week....So hopeful
