The Northern Lights could dazzle UK skies for the third consecutive night as another geomagnetic storm brings the potential for a spectacular light show this evening.

The stormy weather will be breaking out in western Scotland with further heavy rain expected in the south on Sunday evening. According to the NOAA, a monumental G5 geomagnetic storm, considered as "extreme" and the highest level of solar storm, struck Earth on Thursday. A primary cause of this magnificent spectacle - a "large, complex" cluster of sunspots - was 17 times the diameter of Earth.
