According to the Met Office, northern parts of the UK could be in with a chance of witnessing a spectacular Northern Lights display. The weather agency forecasts the place with the "best chance" of seeing the aurora is in the northeast, where skies are clear.

The Met Office says an “expected enhancement in solar activity” means the Aurora Borealis could be visible in Scotland tonight - What time should I look for the Northern Lights?

High-speed winds from a spot on the sun’s surface may disrupt Earth’s magnetic field Tuesday, likely creating geomagnetic storm conditions that could make the northern lights appear in some northern U.S. states, according to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.
