US EditionNorthern Lights Could Be Visible From Areas of UK This Weekend - Liverpool Echo
UK, AUG 8 – The Met Office forecasts auroral activity driven by solar particles, with sightings likely in northern UK areas if skies remain clear, despite limited darkness hours.
- The Met Office forecasts the Northern Lights may be visible in parts of the UK on Friday and into Saturday if skies clear.
- The Northern Lights occur when solar charged particles collide with gases in the Earth's atmosphere, with nitrogen emitting purple, blue and pink, and oxygen emitting green.
- The Met Office Space Weather forecast reads expected Coronal Mass Ejection and coronal hole fast wind influence for 08-09 August, likely enhancing auroral activity, with sightings possible over Scotland, north of England, and Ireland if skies are clear, according to the forecast.
- The Met Office advises: "The northern lights are best seen in darkness, away from any light pollution," so viewers should choose dark locations away from light pollution.
- The Aurora Borealis remains one of the sky's most spectacular shows, and the Met Office added that visibility may vary due to cloud cover and low confidence in timing.
