Sun affecting the weather

Aurora

Can the periods of solar activity (this year) affect the weather? I'm in Britain, and on the nights it was supposed to be possible to see the Aurora Borealis, we couldn't because of heavy cloud. In fact, it's been cloudy and rainy all summer. Are these things connected?

Aurora (so glad you named an entry after me)

I think there is some evidence for solar eruptions to affect the weather, but not quite so directly as you put it.

I'm not sure, so I'll see if I can find a suitable answer for you, interesting.
