Northern Lights set to dazzle parts of the UK TONIGHT – where to look

THE UK is set for another sighting of the Northern Lights tonight, thanks to solar winds hitting Earth at around 800km per second.

Brits were graced with a dazzling show last month, when when the Aurora Borealis was visible in southern parts of the country, such as Kent and Cornwall.

A recent solar storm has the Met Office alerting the public to yet another colourful spectacle occurring Thursday and Friday night this week.

Unlike last time, the display is expected to remain further north, and so should be visible in northern parts of Scotland.

Krista Hammond, of the Met Office Space Weather Operations Centre, said: “Minor solar storms are possible on Thursday and Friday night, which means aurora sightings would be possible in northern Scotland under clear skies.

“As this is a fairly minor solar storm, the auroras aren’t expected to be visible much further south on this occasion.”
