Can you see the Northern Lights in Glasgow again tonight?
It is still possible to catch the Northern Lights around Glasgow tonight (October 11) if the clear weather holds. However, head out as soon as it gets cold, as the alert is active until 9pm.
The Met Office said in their Space Weather forecast: “A fast coronal mass ejection related to a large flare and filament combination that left the Sun on 09 Oct arrived at Earth through the second half of 10 Oct and is having ongoing effects, including Severe Geomagnetic storms.
Aurora has been sighted as far south as southern England and on the continent. The chances of aurora remain initially, though gradually easing through 11 Oct, becoming increasingly confined to far northern geomagnetic latitudes by 13 Oct.”
