Yeah, there's usually no ill effects reported even from pretty strong ones, but lights in Stockholm, Sweden (which is itself pretty far south for an aurora in the first place) were reported to flicker earlier this evening. That's pretty remarkable.
- vakz 2y agoNot just Stockholm. They also flickered where I live, some two hours away from Stockholm,
- acadapter 2y agoThere is a whole Reddit thread about this, many people noticed some flickering at 9PM. https://old.reddit.com/r/sweden/comments/1cozkpa/blinkade_dina_lampor_till_runt_21tiden/ https://old.reddit.com/r/sweden/comments/1cozkpa/blinkade_di...
- SomeoneFromCA 2y agoWe had an intermittent power outage in central Asia, around 21:30-22:00 in Stockholm time. It is like thousands miles away. But we have a weak grid anyway, so it might be unrelated.
- patall 2y agoIt's funny. Had one halogen lamp flicker around 9pm but even though I knew about the eminent events, my first thoughts were 'power failure or lamp at end of life?'
- keyringlight 2y agoI'm not sure if Sweden has similar data, but on one of the UK grid data sites [0] it shows large fluctuations in demand and gas generation supply in the late evening hours. However it's easy to say "that looks odd" while being naive on anything else going on with the grid such as planned maintenance, demands or other issues.
