After stunning scenes across Northern Ireland last night, the Northern Lights will 'likely' be able to be seen tonight, here's how to improve your chances of viewing this natural wonder📸
After stunning scenes across Northern Ireland last night, the Northern Lights will "likely" be able to be seen tonight, the Met Office has said.
It is caused by electrically charged particles from space entering the Earth's upper atmosphere at high speed.However, on Sunday night they were visible across much of the UK, with reports of the phenomena being spotted as far southern England. In a tweet shared just before 6.30pm, the Met Office said: "The Aurora Borealis may be visible as far south as central England tonight where skies remain clear. The Northern Lights are also likely to be seen again on Monday night."
A Met Office map showing places where the natural display might be seen showed the tip of Scotland tinged with red from about 9pm, indicating a "100 per cent probability" of the aurora. Meteorologists from the office said: "The lights generally extend from 50 miles to as high as 400 miles above the Earth's surface. The best conditions to view the lights are when the sky is dark and clear of any clouds.
