Northern Lights to Be Visible in the UK Tonight as Red Alert Issued
- This morning, a high-level warning was announced indicating that the Northern Lights are expected to be visible across the UK on the evening of June 13, 2025.
- The alert comes after increased solar activity triggered fluctuations in the Earth's magnetosphere, as indicated by a Kp warning and elevated geomagnetic conditions.
- The Met Office said strong auroral activity is occurring through Friday early hours and minor to moderate activity is likely during Friday night, especially over northern Scotland and similar latitudes.
- Auroras result from charged solar particles colliding with atmospheric gases, producing colours like green from oxygen and pink from nitrogen visible mostly in darkness away from light pollution.
- Despite summer’s limited darkness potentially affecting visibility, the red alert suggests auroras will likely be visible by eye and camera across much of the UK tonight.
