The aurora of 10th Febuary 2026 was noteable for two reasons - it occurred during a very brief window of dreadful weather and it became active (and bright) quickly.
The clouds parted for a short time at Eshaness Light House to allow stars to appear and it was obvious there was an auroral glow appearing. The glow became an active arc around 21:35GMT although there were brief glimpses of activity around 21:30GMT.
Although Eshaness had the best view of the entire event there was some activity visible through cloud and rain at Sumburgh Lighthouse but nowhere near as impressive as seen at Eshaness with those amazing cliffs visible from the auroral glow.
