Northern Lights Set to Illuminate UK Skies Once More, Forecasters Say

The Northern Lights, or Aurora Borealis, are anticipated to grace the skies of the UK again in the coming weeks, according to space weather forecasters.

Last weekend, on May 11, residents across much of the UK were surprised and delighted by a stunning display of the pink and green auroras. This unexpected event was caused by an extreme geomagnetic storm, which enhanced the visibility of the Northern Lights. The phenomenon was confirmed by the US National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA).
