Everywhere you can spot the Northern Lights in the UK tonight

There's a good chance you'll be able to spot them!

Despite summer officially starting yesterday, the Northern Lights could still make an appearance.

The Met Office has said that the aurora may be seen as far south as the Midlands.

"There’s a chance of seeing the aurora tonight, possibly as far south as the Midland and Wales," said the forecaster.

They added: "Most likely though, the Northern Lights will be visible for Scotland, northern England and Northern Ireland, where clear skies allow."

That is if you're able to stay up long enough to see them...

Of course Lapland, Iceland, Canada and Alaska are the ideal areas for aurora spotting; however, when geomagnetic activity is intense enough, the auroral zones broaden, spreading south toward the equator.

If you're lucky enough that the aurora is forecast in your area, the best place to see it is in a rural area away from light pollution.

Additionally, the Met Office advised that north-facing coastlines and elevated areas are also ideal for stargazing.
