We had unexpectedly amazing views of the aurora at latitide 52 degrees N on the night of 10th/11th May 2024. It is clear that the activity is visible entirely in the northern portion of the sky. The intensity hit KP9/ Extreme storm (G5) on the KP scale, a reading last seen in 2003.

The keogram below shows how the aurora’s visibility changed over the course of the night.

The video footage was used in the BBC Midlands Today evening news on 11th May.
