The Northern Lights, or Aurora Borealis, are usually visible in Iceland, Canada, Finland and Norway but this evening, this phenomenon could be seen in the UK tonight and tomorrow night. Compared to other years, 2024 saw a significant increase in Northern Lights being observed in the UK.

The best viewing conditions are when the sky is dark and clear of any clouds, with no light pollution in remote areas, facing the northern horizon. While typically the Northern Lights are most visible in the auroral oval - a ring of light around Iceland and the polar caps, it can on occasion be witnessed in the north of the UK.
