The Met Office revealed in its space weather forecast that there was a chance of visible aurora in northern parts of Scotland “and similar geomagnetic latitudes” on Wednesday night and Thursday morning.
Predominantly, the Northern Lights are best witnessed in Scotland, North England, North Wales and Northern Ireland.
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.
“Cloudy skies mean limited viewing opportunities for most of us, but with clearer skies in northern and western Scotland, there's a much better chance here.”.
The Northern Lights are set to be visible in parts of the UK tonight.
