MartinW 0 Posted March 18, 2015 Report Share Posted March 18, 2015 Two sizable blasts of magnetic plasma left the sun on Sunday, combined and have reached the Earth today much earlier and stronger than expected. Ranks at level 4. The scale is level 1-5. Expect to sere Auroras further south than normal. Link to post Share on other sites
ddavid 149 Posted March 18, 2015 Report Share Posted March 18, 2015 Seeing an aurora in Wales is a once in a lifetime thing. Back in the early 90's, I thought my neighbour was doing some late night welding, but it was in fact the northern lights - not as spectacular and colourful as that seen further north, but truly memorable. It would be magic to see it again. Cheers - Dai. Link to post Share on other sites

Andrew Godden 934 Posted March 18, 2015 Report Share Posted March 18, 2015 Too busy dealing with real storms in the way of cyclones approaching the coast at the moment to be worried about fancy coloured lights in the sky. Link to post Share on other sites

allardjd 1,853 Posted March 18, 2015 Report Share Posted March 18, 2015 Be careful, Andrew and err on the side of caution. Those things are nasty and unforgiving. They say in the US, most hurricane fatalities are the result of fresh water flooding, inland, from all the rain. John Link to post Share on other sites
