Fingers crossed it's not too cloudy
The Met Office has forecasted that the Northern Lights will be visible in the UK for one night only this week.
The weather agency predicts that the Northern Lights could appear in parts of northern England and Northern Ireland. In its dedicated Space Weather forecast, the Met Office stated: "Two CMEs feature in the forecast, giving a peak chance of Strong Geomagnetic Storm conditions on Wednesday 24 July.This may result in auroral displays down to Northern Ireland, northern England and similar geomagnetic latitudes, albeit impeded by the near-full moon and limited hours of darkness.
The Northern Lights may be obscured by cloud cover, as the current forecast predicts a mostly cloudy night for the UK. However, if there are breaks in the clouds, the aurora could still make an appearance.
