The Northern Lights, or Aurora Borealis, will be visible across the far north of England, Scotland, and Northern Ireland tonight due to a geomagnetic storm. Reports of sightings were noted recently in Dundee and other locations. Although some areas may face cloud cover, those in clear places away from light pollution can witness this spectacle. The Met Office advises using a camera for better visibility, as it can capture more light than the naked eye. Popular spots include high-elevation areas like the Lake District and Edinburgh's Arthur's Seat.
Best of all, you don't need any fancy equipment to see it. According to the Met Office, people with a decent camera should be able to capture shots of the aurora, even if it's not visible with the naked eye.
To see the stunning display, find a dark place away from light pollution and ideally a cloud-free sky. Some of the best aurora spots around the UK are in areas of high elevation.
