The Met Office has announced that the northern lights, or aurora borealis, are anticipated to be visible in Scotland this weekend, with potential sightings further south. The display results from charged solar particles colliding with Earth's atmosphere. Clear skies and low cloud cover indicate a higher chance for sightings, particularly in northern Scotland. A meteorologist from the Met Office noted that the current solar wind patterns enhance the likelihood of observing this phenomenon. Stargazers should look for the auroras overnight Saturday into Sunday and possibly again on Sunday night.
