The Met Office space weather forecast says it’s possible to catch a glimpse of the Aurora Borealis in Scotland on Thursday, March 13. It comes after the aurora was visible across Northern Scotland over the weekend and into Monday morning, but those who missed out now have the chance to enjoy a rare sighting of the spectacle.

Usually, the Northern Lights are visible in Norway, Sweden, Finland, Iceland, Greenland, Canada, the north of American state Alaska and northern Siberia in Russia. They are rarely seen in the UK.

The Northern Lights might be visible as far south as Norfolk if they appear in the skies above the UK tonight, an expert predicts. It’s not guaranteed, but a geomagnetic storm – caused by energy, blasted from the Sun to Earth in solar winds – mean you may see them if the conditions are right.
