Watching this "tsunami" event too. Saw it unfolding Saturday/Sunday and thought "Hmm, interesting if that its earth in a few days"..
I think high latitude, ie Alaska, north Finland, etc may see some cracking northern lights. I doubt we will. Will see what happens.

A region which is the subject of a drought order application has been put on flood watch due to heavy rains.
The Scottish Environment Protection Agency is monitoring water levels on rivers across Dumfries and Galloway.
LOL

Wow!!! check out this link, it shows the ash blowing across the northern hemisphere and towards us over the last couple of weeks.
You can really see how dangerous it would be to fly atm, especially in this country...omg! what are the airlines thinking??
What a brilliant animation, best yet!

What was the depth/magnitude?

Assessment - 15 May 2010 17:25
The eruption plume is gray and the height is mainly ~ 6 - 7 km / 21,000 - 24,000 ft, occasionally reaching 8 km / 27,000 ft. It is heading southwest and later south.
Ashfall has been reported south of Eyjafjallajökull and ashdrift southeast of Eyjafjallajökull.
An earthquake swarm started beneath Eyjafjallajökull just before midnight. In the period between 23:54 and 02:45, more than thirty earthquakes were located at depth greater than 20 km and magnitude less than Ml 2. A few more earthquakes were detected until morning.
No major changes are seen in the activity, the ash cloud is slightly higher than yesterday. Presently there are no indications that the eruption is about to end.
Details in status report issued collectively by the Icelandic Meteorological Office and the Institute of Earth Sciences at 15:00.

In just under 4 weeks I'm off on an expedition to a remote North Atlantic island which involves flying into Stornoway. Nine months in the planning. Damn ash cloud better disappear by then.

Watch out for volcanic snow in parts of Scotland tomorrow - you heard it first here !
-
Hvolsvelli cam shows the wind shift. Opposite direction yesterday (shift from SW to SE).
Ash plume seems to be getting smaller quite quickly now.
Still quite a size on this: http://eldgos.mila.is/eyjafjallajokull-fra-hvolsvelli/

At Belfast Aldegrove(BHD) Ryanair, Easyjet and bmi on arrival all had engine inspections and all found traces of ash - this was earlier today.
Any other news on this or are the hacks all tied up with the election still?

Can't find a thread which covers this
Local hills (not mountains) just about snow-free now.
It's taken a while.Don't think I've ever seen snow last so long on The Ochils.
How's other areas doing?

It's a chap called Leifur from the Eruptions blog. He said he was heading up there earlier.
-
Wouldn't call it a volcanic sunset here. Had a cracker (in comparison) a few weeks ago when this thing first kicked off.
-
From a few days ago (NASA). Dunno if posted already?

This thread http://www.ukweatherworld.co.uk/forum/forums/thread-view.asp?tid=35867&start=1126 has a pic of the plume through the clouds, taken earlier. It's towards the bottom of the thread.
Bloody hell - that's huge!!

Since Monday 3 May, increased earthquake activity beneath Eyjafjallajökull has been recorded. Precise locations of the earthquakes show that their source is at first very deep, at about 23 km depth, but then migrates upwards. This strongly indicates that “new” magma is intruding into the magma conduit and pushing on the over-lying magma, causing a difference in pressure at the surface. It is therefore anticipated that the eruption will continue at full force in the next days.
Significant changes in horizontal movement at GPS stations around Eyjafjallajökull have been observed in the last 48 hours. Renewed northward displacement is seen at stations BAS2 and STE2, located just north of the ice cap. To the south, westward movement is apparent at THEY (see figure below), while station FIM2 - located further east - shows eastward movement.
The distribution of earthquake activity in the magma conduit could also indicate the location of the magma chamber that has fuelled the eruption since 14 April. It is considered to be at a depth of approx. 3-5 kilometers, in an area where no earthquakes are detected.

No danger of any Northern Lights far south. Probably unlikely as far north as Shetland too!
The media reporting of this "event" has been way OTT.
