Also: 100 % cloud cover in basically all of Northern Europe :/ Iceland is probably the place to be for the aurora show!

Yep. It's raining pretty hard here in the North East of the UK. Not much point in going to look.

Note to non-UK readers:

Most of the time when someone says they are in the “North East of the UK” it’s not some Scotsman up in Shetland it is an English person who is currently in the North East of England.

The North East of England is in the middle part of the UK mainland.

> could impact our planet as early as 16 UTC on 12 November Is that 16:00 or 00:16?

16 hundred hours; 16:00. Since revised down to midday (12 UTC). https://www.swpc.noaa.gov/sites/default/files/styles/pad_sid...

Bad timing for North America Eastern TZ - day break here. Pacific/Mountain TZ should be fine.

It's raining off and on in London as well.

So .. they don't see scotland as part of the UK anyway? Why was it such an issue then that they wanted to leave? (And why were there bloody wars fought about it in the first place?)
