US EditionNorthern Lights Forecast: These 8 States May See Aurora Borealis Tonight
- Last year, the Aurora Borealis amazed people throughout the UK, with sightings extending as far down as counties including Dorset, Essex, Cambridgeshire, and Berkshire.
- This increase in sightings results from rising solar activity since the last solar minimum in December 2019, which led to more electrically charged particles reaching Earth.
- These particles become trapped in Earth's magnetic field, particularly near the poles, causing the aurora effect when they collide with atmospheric atoms and molecules.
- Krista Hammond from the Met Office explained that as we approach the solar maximum, space weather activity will become more common, enhancing the likelihood of witnessing the Aurora Borealis across the UK.
- As solar activity peaks around July 2025, more frequent auroras are likely, enabling a broader UK audience to observe this phenomenon on dark, clear nights.
