Meanwhile, Kiribati is having a party...

Oh, and as for santa claus... He's dead. Burnt up, squashed and turned into quantum soup when he tried to take off...

Only possibility I could see is solar activity, forecasting flares isn't very accurate. You can have a 25% chance one hour that goes to a 5% chance the next hour. The sun is really active last year and this year with next year expected to be even more active.  I don't want a flare strong enough to cause damage but I would like to see the northern lights where I live.

Good site for watching the flare activity, especially if you are interested in how it effects things like radio is solar ham.

Youtube site that has video of various flares over the years.
