< and now nature takes its course
Sadly, we won't be seeing much of the auroras down here in Texas. What we do get, though, is some incredible sunsets around this time of year. The clouds are larger than usual from passing storms, and something about the way the sunlight hits just makes it damn majestic. Almost like a painting come to life. The sunsets are just different in the SW, I guess!
Hope the auroras look extra incredible for you, though. I'd like to see them once in my life too.
Cheers!
Well, for a long time I thought that aurora is not seen at 48° North in Central Europe. But it happens. Currently the solar cycle is quite active, there was a X9.0 flare (that's a big one!) a few days ago. But the current cloud deck will sort this out for me this time.
Short version: You just never know, keep looking. Rainbows, sun dogs, halos around the sun and the moon, lightning, big fat fast moving clouds, wind gusts that make your house or car shiver ... whatever. Nature is full of incredible shows on display ...
