US EditionUK Set for Once in a Decade Northern Lights Display Next Month
- This spring, stunning Northern Lights displays were reported across the UK, reaching locations in the southern counties including Dorset and Berkshire.
- Increased sightings follow the rising solar activity after the solar minimum in December 2019, with the solar maximum expected around July 2025.
- Solar storms emit charged particles that collide with Earth's atmosphere, heating atoms and creating auroras concentrated near the poles but occasionally visible farther south.
- NOAA’s latest forecast predicts the auroral oval will extend much farther south than normal on June 4, making the northern lights potentially visible from southern Ontario, Quebec, and portions of the Maritime provinces, with the best viewing expected near midnight.
- This increased visibility suggests more frequent space weather events and aurora displays toward the solar maximum, offering more chances to see the Northern Lights in these regions.
