Northern Lights over Oxfordshire TONIGHT as RED ALERT issued
- Aurorawatch UK issued a red alert on Wednesday, March 26, 2025, indicating that the Northern Lights, also known as the Aurora Borealis, were likely to be visible across the UK.
- The increased visibility is due to a fast stream of solar wind from a coronal hole and the Sun being at a maximum in its 11-year solar cycle, which increases geomagnetic activity.
- Clear skies, especially in eastern counties, and low light pollution are recommended for optimal viewing, with activity levels expected to reach over 200 nanotesla .
- According to the Met Office, there was a chance of aurora sightings across northern Scotland this week, with a slight chance in Southern Scotland and similar latitudes, and the brightest aurora are typically around 11pm to midnight local time.
- The increased frequency and intensity of Northern Lights displays in the UK are attributed to the current solar maximum, as stated by Stephen Dixon of the Met Office, though some cloud and rain may impact visibility in certain areas, and a partial solar eclipse will also be visible this weekend.
