The Northern Lights, a bucket list experience for stargazers, are expected to be visible across the UK as a solar storm hits Earth. The Met Office has forecasted that the aurora will be visible in Scotland, Northern Ireland, and southern England due to a Coronal Mass Ejection (CME). This has triggered a moderate geomagnetic storm, enhancing auroral activity. Clear skies will provide the best viewing opportunities, particularly in northern Scotland, although weather warnings suggest caution for outdoor viewing.
According to the Met Office, strong geomagnetic storms have led to increased auroral activity throughout the day today, with activity expected to persist into the early hours of the morning.
Enhanced geomagnetic activity is expected tonight, which may provide an opportunity to view the aurora in Scotland, perhaps Northern Ireland, and parts of northern England.
