Here's why there's suddenly Northern Lights in the UK?

[@curlew-3592]

I’m 70 and I’ve seen the Northern lights since I was a child🙄🇬🇧

[@Jo-sp5cp]

Lucky you. Saw my first in May. Reds and purples. Truly amazing.😍

[@RendererEP]

Where in the UK do you live? I saw them in Kent two years ago, and in my home in East London in may. I'm certain they have never been that far south of Britain, whereas if you live up North of Britain you probably have seen them often.

[@sandradavies7804]

@@RendererEP It depends where you are in northern Britain. In the west it's cloudy almost every night, especially when the NLs are most "active", so no, we hardly ever see them.

Are you trying to say this is normal for England , because it is not. Otherwise we would have been rushing out to our gardens to see them over the years. People would not have been travelling to Scandinavia either to see them.

[@spiritusinfinitus]

It's mostly people's phone cameras seeing them, not their own eyes. Most people didn't have the capability in their pockets even a few years ago.

[@Facts_Are_Facts_Are_Facts]

[@juliesharp5077]

@@spiritusinfinitus true you can see them with a phone , but it still isn't normal for them to show here so regularly. People should start asking questions and not just marvel at the beauty.

[@davidpartridge8484]

To be pedantic, the summer "equinox" is actually the "summer solstice" in June and the "winter solstice" is in December. I think you meant the "autumn equinox" which is around September 21st. In any case, auroral activity has nothing to do with solstices or equinoxes. It is correlated with the 11 year sunspot cycle. At solar max the sun has lots of sunspots. These decrease gradually to almost none about 5 or 6 years later - solar minimum. Then they gradually increase again. When there are lots of sunspots the sun casts out lots of charged charged particles in the form of coronal mass ejections. Its these particles that hit our atmosphere, primarily in polar regions, to cause these lovely lightshows.

[@Jo-sp5cp]

These light shows are now seen in southern UK and southern US. Not limited to Canada and Norway any more👍

[@dalejoyce7042]

@@Jo-sp5cp We are seeing it in the UK because the magnetic field has weakened , and the magnetic field is weakening as a result of the imminent pole-flip. Check where magnetic north is right now.... It's about 1200 miles SSE of true north. Puts it somewhere over Siberia at my last check.

The magnetic field is weakening as the magnetic poles migrate. This allows in more of the suns energy, also explains why aurora which used to be mainly green are now vibrant reds and purple. But if you want to believe the sun is having a 'moment' cos you know 'science' go ahead 😂

Since you’ve debunked science, please go ahead and lay out your theory, with workings - physics, cause and effect calculations and mechanisms. Because just throwing in a - the field’s weaker so it lets in more is kind of lame. If you don’t understand enough about it to explain, you can’t just dismiss what scientists, people with actual expertise in the subject, have worked out.

[@heather333]

I wondered if it was because of the rapidly moving magnetic north pole.

[@fredchris3509]

I think youll the magnetic field of the earth is whats actually having a flap, i.e. fading away

[@jamesbarbour8400]

It is, but only on a temporary basis, as the Earth's magnetic pole reverses its polarity, when the magnetic strength will hopefully increase its strength once more, to protect us from Solar winds and Sun flares once more

[@nickhart8212]

This is ill-informed. There have been no major solar flares strong enough to have caused aurorae so far south, regardless of the sun's peaking cycle. The reason is that earths magnetic pole drift is both accelerating per year and weakening at an increasing rate (it was something like a 10% reduction over 100 years and then a further 5% reduction over the last 50 with like further acceleration if it is a shift). As the planet's magnetic shield weakens, less.powerful solar events such as week M-class flares or groups of them are causing the aurora.

Finally been saying this for years chuck has a live stream watching the sun and its flares and spots there massive its been very very busy blasting flares

[@phillwheadon5940]

I agree with Nick Hart's comment below - I believe it is because there are dramatic changes taking place in the planet's magnetic field. We are due for a geomagnetic reversal and I understand the change process can last hundreds or thousands of years and is underway. Are these aurora events simultaneously appearing where we would expect them or is the whole spectacle moving southwards? In other words is it a super large event extending from the polar North to these southerly latitudes or are the lines of magnetic force being shifted and taking the particles with it to show the aurora in a new locality?

Nothing to do with the Ozone layer - which IS still there - but rather to the much reduced magnetic field of Earth which has declined steadily over the last century or so. The reason the aurora are so visible now is that the decline is accelerating.
