Northern Lights Possible Over Northern UK Tonight as Geomagnetic Activity Persists

Forecasters link the potential display to coronal‑hole fast winds with a low‑confidence boost from a March 22 CME late on March 24 into 25.

Overview

  • The Met Office reports enhanced geomagnetic activity on March 23 that could make the aurora visible at times across northern UK areas.
  • Displays are expected to be weaker and less widespread than the weekend, with the best chances in Scotland and Northern Ireland.
  • Met Office aurora maps indicate the most favorable viewing window around midnight on Tuesday, March 24.
  • A glancing blow from a coronal mass ejection observed on March 22 may increase activity overnight March 24–25, though confidence is low.
  • NOAA recorded G3 geomagnetic storms over the weekend and says conditions may stay somewhat elevated into March 24–25.
