Red alert from AuroraWatch UK predicts potential Northern Lights visibility across UK, especially Scotland, N. England, and Northern Ireland.

A rare red alert issued by AuroraWatch UK suggests the Northern Lights may be visible across the UK tonight, particularly for those in Scotland, northern England, and Northern Ireland.

The automated alert system is based on disturbances in the Earth's magnetic field.
