Northern Lights to Be Visible in the UK Tonight as Red Alert Issued
- On June 13, 2025, AuroraWatch UK elevated the alert level to red, indicating that the Northern Lights are expected to be visible across the UK this evening.
- The alert follows a spike in solar activity causing charged particles to collide with gases in Earth's upper atmosphere, producing auroras.
- The Northern Lights, or aurora borealis, display colors like green, pink, red, blue, and violet directed due north, best seen away from light pollution.
- A Kp alert indicates disturbances in Earth’s magnetic field, raising the likelihood of visible auroras from northern Scotland to northern England tonight despite limited darkness.
- The event suggests auroras could be visible by eye or camera across the UK, but summer's extended daylight may reduce viewing opportunities.
