Northern Lights in UK tonight as Met Office issues 'strong' update

The Northern Lights could illuminate skies across the UK on Saturday evening into Sunday morning, according to the Met Office.

The Met Office said the best chances of seeing the natural phenomenon this weekend will be across northern parts of Scotland as well as North Wales and the Midlands. The forecaster said the rest of the UK might miss out on the light spectacle due to cloud cover.Simon Partridge, a senior meteorologist at the Met Office, told the PA news agency: “The Northern Lights will be visible tonight – until Sunday morning. They will mainly be visible from North Wales/Midlands northwards.

On November 5, the aurora borealis, also known as the Northern Lights, was visible in Northamptonshire and Northumberland and some onlookers even spotted a strong thermal emission velocity enhancement which is a phenomenon that often appears as a purple or green streak in the sky. “The solar wind contains more particles when there are sun spots, as these are regions on the sun’s surface where the magnetic field is interacting with the plasma in the sun, and the particles can be released.
