Aurora unlikely to be visible anywhere in the UK
Short-term forecast shows low probability of sighting
The aurora is a natural light display in the sky, caused by the interaction of charged particles from the sun with the Earth's atmosphere. It is most commonly seen in high-latitude regions, such as Alaska and Norway, but can sometimes be seen in the UK during periods of high solar activity.
However, according to a short-term forecast from the Met Office, the aurora is unlikely to be visible by eye or camera from anywhere in the UK tonight.
The forecast is based on data from the OVATION model, which predicts the location and intensity of the aurora. The model takes into account factors such as the strength of the solar wind and the Earth's magnetic field.
The forecast is updated every few hours, so it is worth checking back later if you are hoping to see the aurora.
