The Northern Lights may be visible tonight in parts of the UK due to heightened solar activity.

The UK's Met Office predicts the Northern Lights, or Aurora Borealis, may be visible tonight in parts of the UK, potentially as far south as the Midlands, with higher chances in Scotland, northern England, and Northern Ireland. This increased visibility is due to heightened solar activity, with the sun's electrically charged particles colliding with Earth's magnetic field, producing the aurora effect. The solar activity is expected to peak around July, potentially leading to more frequent Northern Lights sightings over the coming years.
