Summary at a Glance

The Met Office revealed this morning that the solar wave is set to hit northern Europe, including the UK, and parts of Africa creating "periods of enhanced aurora".

The Met Office has predicted the Coronal Hole High-Speed Stream will hit the country some time over the next two days, bathing northern parts of the UK in a rare light.

The Met Office has issued a Valentine's Day warning as it predicts the sun will unleash a wave of energy that could disturb the Earth's magnetic field above the UK and trigger an aurora.

Meteorologists have predicted a powerful Coronal Hole High-Speed Stream will slam into the planet between Thursday and Friday, potentially creating a dazzling display typically only seen in far northern nations.

Unfortunately for people living in the areas where the lights are set to occur, the weather will mean much of the sky may be obscured, and they are pelted with freezing rain while trying to look up.
