Still going strong in swansea, now the southern skies are pure pink purple, when will it end?

[Southern Storm]

Absolutely speechless 

[Metwatch]

This is the unfiltered reaction of me and my friend seeing the aurora burst vibrantly for the first time In our lives.

No other soul around, just 2 friends sharing pure happiness watching nature's wonder.

I'm glad I saw the met office aurora forecast before heading out, had I kept to the NOAA prediction I'd have just gotten here 30mins ago after leaving the house at 10pm and missed out on all the action, KP is 8.3 and expected to stay at these elevated levels all through the night.

Wow

 

[Fen Wolf]

Is this confirmed to be the strongest in history as a G5?  If so just WOW!

So last time I saw this was in 2001...

Never seen this in May before its a blast from the past tonight..

Started as a false dawn to the east..

Last time it was overhead was in 1989 so how does it compare with then nowhere near as bright as that one..Spring 2000 was also much brighter which was to the north more...

It went as far south as Corvus the crow well Spica anyway..

Also nearly walked into a badger up in the top field,that was close..

[Summertime Sadness]

Somebody pinch me. That was utterly surreal.

I didn't think i'd ever see such an amazing sight from Waterlooville!

[Raindrops]

Seeing some blue, not sure if natural colour due to camera.

 

[Mapantz]

The last 10 seconds of my daily timelapse looked good!

Skip to 3:50 if you want to miss the previous 22 hours.

Hey everyone! First post here, i'm usually in the storms chat but my god.

 

Just wanted to share some photos on here of the aurora tonight. It was incredible, and the neighbours came out and we all stood together admiring the sky.

Rambling aside here are some photos I got, using my trusty Samsung
