The northern lights forecast for the evening was really poor, but bz occasionally dropped slightly to negative, so it produced a wide-ranging northern lights show even though there was little brightness.

It was about -5 degrees below zero at night.

Mukavan näköiset revotulet olleet siellä. Itse seurasin samaan aikaan aktiviteettia radiotaajuuksilla. Pohjois-Savossa vastaanotossa oli Rovaniemellä oleva 50MHz radiomajakka (OH9SIX). Siellä radiosignaalin aurora eteneminen alkoi 4.9.2021, noin klo 22:55 UTC aikaan. Ilmiö voimistui siitä noin puolen tunnin ajan. Voimakkuus vaihteli ajoittain ja lopulta ilmiö hävisi klo 01:45 UTC.
