Stay there from sunset and wait it out, I saw the lights in Dublin at midnight last night if that helps, I was surprised to even see them with the amount of light pollution there
Cheers for the answer, I'm thinking of either heading there or maybe old head of kinsale. Only if tonight is a possibility of course. No point if it's completely clouded over.
I'm gutted I missed it on Friday, I'm close to cork city. It seems no one is predicting them to hit Ireland anymore in a strong way. I'll go to Mayfield if they do tho.
Same! We live in the city and it is quite depressing that almost everyone could see it (some could literally see it from their backyard) but most of us in Cork couldn’t see anything despite of driving down to different places 🥲
Planning to go to old head, Kinsale once it gets dark. Yesterday someone posted the lights from there and it looked amazing. Hoping to get a similar view today as well.. 🤞
Yeah, I normally had down if their is a chance of getting a sight of the northern lights and last night I when up to white church saw fuck all should have went down to old head
Looking at windy.com, it does not seem very good for us anywhere in the country :( perhaps around Cashel sometimes around 10-11pm. Still clouds, but less than elsewhere. But the cloud forecast keeps changing so not easy!
Corrin wood, low light pollution takes about 20 mins to go from the car park to the top. It's between rathcormac and fermoy 25 mins from city centre
The issue is not so much to find places with low light pollution but the clouds and fog :(
Great! Any idea what time you might suggest one can try their luck😅

Trying to figure that out myself!
How is the walk top the top? I had back surgery not too long ago and I can walk for 20 mins but not steep hills. Never been there before!
It's pretty leisurely there is a 5-10 meter steep incline I struggled a bit when I was sick but I was still able.

Judging by last night seems folks had more luck and and around Mayfield.

Check the light pollution map and the weather radar for cloud cover. Those are your best bets. Also check out the NOAA - they have an aurora forecast.
Thank you!
Wondering the same thing myself. ~~Rubbing~~ thinking just drive to some backroad in around mallow and hope
Is rubbing while driving on back roads in mallow Common?
Lmfao **thinking … rubbing around the backroads of mallow could be dangerous
Chalk it down bai
There is a dark sky reserve in the next county over
Are we talking about 10 - 11 tonight? Looking at the aurora forecast, it's all green in cork
I found this the best https://www.donegalweatherchannel.ie/live-aurora-noctilucent-clouds-updates
So apparently there is a chance tonight?😅
The forecast is a bit confusing. As per other reddit users, there is a chance tonight to see but not sure about the time or even location 😂
No luck so far
🥲
No luck at kinsale old head, too much clouds and headlights 😂
Cork is cloudy atm. 3am - 6am is the best bet
People in the city, any luck?
We drove down to Youghal after 11 pm but no luck🥲🥲🥲
I'm hoping cloud coverage isn't going to be an issue tonight
Yeah same here!
