Ok, but why does the article repeat the first few sections after?

The author needed the word count lol

That'd explain why they reached for ballyhoo and brouhaha in the same sentence. What a state of affairs.

They missed a trick by not also using hullabaloo.

It's clearly not his bailiwick.

She’s probably just a braggadocious blaggard.

So more northern lights visible?

It's possible. We need activity and alignment for it to happen. Get some apps, check some forecasts. The 3-day forecast only tells you if you should expect to check the daily forecast. The daily forecast tells you to check thebjourly forecast. The hourly forecast tells you if you should be at the viewing area already. I just saw them last week around 40deg N for the first time. It's unique.

Any apps that are recommended? (My wife has been interested in spotting the recent comet)

I like the UI of Aurora (purple teal logo). I don't remember why, but I paid for Pro. I also have alerts on my phone from the site https://aurora-alerts.uk/ There's of course the NOAA website but the UI isn't as smooth or I just don't know what I'm doing. Aurora has a nice prediction map that's updated every few minutes. Aurora-alerts/Glendale has good alerts when it detects storm bursts. On 10/10, it alerted me ~20 minutes prior to each of the 3 bursts.

Honorable mention to Aurora Notifier (black green logo). It's map isn't as helpful as Aurora, but it incorporates usergsubmitted settings by location. When Europe has a ton of green dots, I know the activity is at least producing aurora
