I'd love it to be correct, especially as skies are clear here in Northumberland where I am visiting. However the aurora forecasts are so poor that I am going to do my bit to increase the chances by heading back south

kp remained at 3 or below through yesterday. Pity - would have been great to see UK aurora, and it has happened (in 2012 I think).
We live in hope....
