Northern lights can be seen in very southerly regions over the course of the next few nights if you're lucky.
Let us know if you see them and where.
no clouds in the sky the nite, as clear a nite in quite a while but no sigh of it, damn!
Any of you North Derry or North Antrim lads see any sign of the aurora yet ?
Some night for it all the same.

There is to be little or no chance of seeing it tonight.

Where did you go Myles ?
Sligo coast line from Ballina up to Screen, anywhere I could get looking out to the atlantic in a northern direction. There were a few others out but had no luck. Maybe tonight.

Have you seen them there before ? What time did you stay to ?

Is that the extent of your ability to discuss or comment on matters?

No I've never seem the before, only in pictures. I was out from around 9 until 11 or so on Thursday, it got cloudy around 10. Friday night was out again at 9 but it was cloudy and then it started to rain so left at 10. Seems even those who had a clear sky didnt see it.

Wales looked good last night for some reason.
Tonight's the night.
Scientists are now saying that tonight will provide the best chance to see the colourful display.
The US-based National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration said there is an 85 per cent chance of polar geomagnetic storms tonight.
Joe Kunches, of The Space Weather Prediction Center (SWPC), told Sky News: 'The geomagnetic storm that drives the aurora structure south is beginning right now.
'We're not sure how strong the storm will be but if it follows predictions there's a good chance of seeing it in southern Britain
Wise up. The Northern Lights do not exist. Insiders in NASA and places like that know it's a ruse to boost tourism in the very northern hemisphere at this time of the year. All those photos are photo-shopped and the naked eye visuals are simply projections.

They are now called the Ireland's Call Lights.
Big shows tonight.

Looks like we might get another chance to see the northern lights tonight.

QuoteA huge solar flare eruption could lead to the dazzling display of the aurora borealis - the northern lights - over Ireland this weekend.
A pair of solar storm clouds are heading for Earth following powerful explosions from a sunspot.
The aurora could be visible over Ireland when they arrive at earth and strike our magnetic field, some time over the next few days.
David Moore of Astronomy Ireland said that while predicting the aurora is difficult, the best time to look to the skies would likely be Friday and Saturday night.
"The sun is belching a lot - spitting out a huge amount," he said. "This explosion looks huge - and more impressive."
Our sun operates on 11-year cycles of activity, which means it's now in the same peak as it was in 2003, when the aurora was visible directly overhead as far south as Cork.

That'll be the heavens splitting when Big Ian enters and creates his own Free Heaven.
Unbelievable display of northern lights tonight.
Best i have seen and seems to be widely viewable in the northern half of the country.
Was wondering what was wrong with the sky the night, eerie green haze behind the clouds, impressive alright
Visible in the Sperrins last night alright, from Greencastle direction Tyrone
