BGS sent out an email today advising on the possibility of.
There is an increased chance of viewing the aurora on 11th/12th September 2017.
Another large Coronal Mass Ejection (CME) associated with an X8.3 solar flare was observed yesterday afternoon (10th). This emerged from the same active region as the previous CMEs on the 4th and 6th.
Although the origin of this CME is right on the edge of the Sun we are still expecting a significant glancing blow. Due to the position of the CME it is very difficult to predict the arrival time, but it could arrive as early as this evening (11th) or tomorrow morning.
Assuming clear dark skies, there is an increased chance of seeing the aurora, following the CME arrival. In the UK, those in Scotland, northern England and Northern Ireland may have the best opportunities.
