The Met Office has said that there is a 'strong chance' that the Northern Lights will be visible in Scotland, Northern Ireland, and northern England this Saturday, October 5
Stargazers across Scotland, Northern Ireland, and northern England are in for a celestial treat this weekend as the Met Office predicts an increased chance of witnessing the awe-inspiring Northern Lights. The forecasters have observed a recent surge in solar activity, which enhances the probability of the aurora borealis making a grand appearance.
The Met Office also provided details on the recent solar events, noting: "Solar activity has been High, with the background level solar activity just below Moderate Class level and several M-class flares occurring. The largest flare was a Strong flare observed at 03/1218 UTC, which originated from a geomagnetically complex region near south-centre disc."
This surety will be what those keen on aurora displays might need for a memorable sight this weekend. There have been numerous occasions over recent months when the aurora made an appearance, reports the Express.
