    Its a shame the OPI didn't return, it obviously wasn't 100% but no type of prediction index ever is. It was linked in with Cohen's snow cover advance theory, the opi just gave us a number that reflected the pressure pattern across hemisphere, the pressure pattern that determines how fast the snow cover builds up! Its all linked, the OPI, taymr peninsula index and snow cover advance, basically one thing. The patterns throughout autumn set up what will happen in the following months, October is where things start to get interesting with regards to winter for me.

    Yep  i agree  wasnt the SAI  last year  the highest its ever been in regard to snowfall accumilation   and last winter was hardly the best   yet we still put faith in that.

    Interesting to see the MO has issued an Amber Warning this morning. Seeing as trees are in full leaf I can understand why with the winds that are forecast.

    Cowin hell  day  see that coming   Not amazingly high winds  but over a very populated area could cause alot of disruption.  my interest has now been pricked.

    It looks as if the earlier X2 flare will be caught up by the later X9 flare. There are a lot of variables, mag flux, speed and mag orientation but if the gods look kindly we could even be seen pics of aurora from Spain.

    All very speculative but fingers crossed. I would hope Yorkshire and the Black Country to see something at least. We should know more within the next day. 

    Thanks. Another question if I may. If it does happen like you said how rare are these events . I can never remember them bring visable this far south .

    Sunspot AR2673 unleashed an X9 solar flair on the 6th.

    Per SpaceWeather

    Not yet known if there is an associated CME but if so and Earth directed this will be a doozy! Possibly arorae as far south as Paris.

    Stand by your beds, this could be the big one!

     

    Frog please help me solar not really my thing. By big one I assume auras for most of uk
