Although it won't be confirmed until after the event has reached Earth, there are signs tonight's Severe Geomagnetic Storm will be the strongest since 2005.
This will mean it's likely all of the UK (cloud permitting) should be able to see the the Aurora tonight if you look north
This is heartbreaking... 💔
This is one of the first images from inside the fireground in the Stirling Range National Park🔥

Many are asking if we’ll see the
#Aurora
again tonight.
Activity is expected to slowly decline, however there is a good chance (cloud permitting) you’ll be able to see it again tonight.
I’ve popped some top tips here
It has been confirmed that last nights rare event was classified as a G5 Extreme Solar Storm by NOAA. This last happened in October 2003
Although not as strong tonight, with a number of geomagnetic storms persisting the
#AuroraBorealis
could be visible again cloud permitting
A little remind that just 6 inches of fast flowing water is enough to wash you off your feet. And 1 foot of water is enough to move a small car…probs not the best place to stand 😳😬
Dont forget the

by one hour tonight! Yes you lose an hours sleep but you gain lighter evenings!

Why it doesn’t happen on a Friday at 4pm I don’t know 🤣😛
“Honey how was your day?”
“Well I managed to block the

canal by running the ship aground and pretty much stopped one of the busiest shipping routes in the world”
😅😂
#Evergreen
Excitement for tonight and this weekend with a high likelihood of the Northern Lights being visible for the whole of the UK!
👀Look North

🌚Get away from as much light pollution as possible
The Sun just launched multiple Coronal Mass Elections (plasma with embedded magnetic field) at Earth which are combining with each other on the way over. A severe geomagnetic storm is predicted this weekend, meaning auroras are likely to be seen where 'Kp 8' is on the maps below!
I’ve never seen such a violent storm! Torrential rain, strong gusty winds. Thousands of

strikes. Roads turned to rivers in a matter of minutes.

Remember day length & light pollution will have an impact on your viewing
Top tips
It'll look better through a camera with a long exposure, make sure you keep it steady
You'll need to look to the northern horizon
Let your eyes adjust before viewing

Wishing you and all your loved ones a very Happy Christmas and all the best for 2023! Thank you for the support and those weather pictures this year! See you on the other side!! X
Nearly a full 24 hours of an intense
#SolarStorm
causing the Aurora to be seen in both the northern and southern hemispheres!
Another good opportunity tonight. Like to see it best between 10.30pm-2pm where light pollution levels are reduced.
Get out. Look up, it’s free!
If you ever thought the

I can’t quite believe it, but 6 years ago today I joined

Thanks to all those who have supported me and helped me get to where I am today! And of course to those who sent me pictures to use on screen it’s been a pleasure!

Some personal news
I’m heading to

I’ve had worse Mondays 😉🐢🏝️
Australia’s most photographed beach - Whitehaven. The sand is made of 98.5% silica and is one of the purest beaches in the world.
The water is so blue because suspended sand particles diffuse the sunlight as it shines through the ocean!

Last day of winter and it feels like we’ve past a mile stone! 🌱
From here, it gets warmer, brighter and days longer. There’s light at the end of the tunnel. For my

Mention of Hurricane Force winds in the shipping forecast.
Force 12 on the Beaufort scale. Never seen in my career
Important to note we physically cannot get Hurricanes here in the UK but Hurricane is a measure of wind speed
Anything greater than a mean of 64kt. Around 75mph
Wishing you & your loved ones, those who are working over Christmas, including the emergency services, our care workers, the armed forces, weather forecasters & those that are away from their friends and families this year, a very Happy Christmas.
All the best for 2021! 💙 Xx

Caused by big puddles, splashing on to the nearby trees, freezing as they drip down! Amazing right?!

Getting lots of questions regarding the sun looking an eerie blue today.
It’s the power of wildfire smoke diffusing the sunlight which has been pulled across the Atlantic from the North America because of

Today marks the

and it’s now the first day of astronomical
#Autumn
Today the sun is directly above the equator meaning nearly everywhere. Day and night are ALMOST equal.
Remember they’re equal on the Equilux which is on Monday
Had the BEST time exploring the Greek islands for the past week with

I’ll try to bring the Greek sunshine home 🇬🇷☀️

Today marks the start of Meteorological
#Spring
Other dates do apply but in meteorology, Spring runs from the 1st March to the 31st May 🌱
Sadly the only thing coming back to the UK with me will be the tan!
Looking at what’s in store for next week we’ll be talking overnight frost, rain, sleet and maybe some snow too 👀 (Mainly showers by the looks of it)
See you back on
@itvanglia
Monday!
Next stop LHR! X
Clear skies for most tonight means things look good for this evenings

Sad news to hear
@British_Airways
is retiring its Boeing 747-400 fleet with immediate effect. This will end 50 years of flying the jumbo jet. They will be replaced with the more economical A350’s and 787 Dreamliner
@johnlewisretail
Reading the comments about the
@johnlewisretail
Christmas ad 😡
“It doesn’t make me cry”
“I don’t get it”
“It’s not Christmassy”
It’s about the value of friendship and that any gift, no matter how big or small, the best gift of all is giving friends your time!
