The colourful displays have been seen throughout the country over recent nights
People across the UK have managed to catch a glimpse of the Northern Lights on both Sunday and Monday nights, with the natural phenomena even spotted as far south as Kent. Residents in Scotland were rewarded with the best displays, with the lights also made appearances in Lancashire and the Lake District.
But those still hoping to see the Northern Lights may be left disappointed as the Met Office has confirmed that it “isn’t likely” that the lights will be seen over northern England tonight. However, they may still be spotted in north-west Scotland.The Met Office told the Manchester Evening News “The peak of solar activity has passed and this combined with much cloudier skies means that it isn’t likely that people in northern England will see the spectacle.
Head of space weather at the Met Office Mark Gibbs added: “What we saw was a bubble of magnetised plasma particles that had come off the sun, and they happened to be heading towards the Earth in this instance,” he said.
