The Northern Lights will be visible in London this weekend - here's when to look up

AuroraWatch issued a rare 'red alert', indicating that the northern lights are likely visible across the UK, including London, following a significant solar flare.

To maximize your chances of seeing the aurora, find a cloud-free night after sundown and use proper photography techniques suggested by the Met Office.

The current increased auroral activity in the UK is largely due to an 'x-class' solar flare, which enhances visibility of the lights.

While sightings of the northern lights are rare in London, keeping an eye on AuroraWatch can help you catch this stunning phenomenon.
