Currently, it seems, you don’t need to head over to Iceland to witness the natural phenomena of the Aurora Borealis. This weekend has thrown up two chances to see the amazing Northern Lights. And, it seems a third display is set to occur tonight.
The display is one of the best seen in a long time. You may think you need to head over to Iceland, Canada or Norway to see the Northern Lights, but you don’t.
Tweeting this morning, Channel 4 weather presenter Liam Dutton wrote: “Geomagnetic activity will increase again today, however, as with last night, peak activity may not coincide with darkness.”
Check out some of the best Northern Light spots we’ve seen over the last few days below…
How to spot the Northern Lights…
Whilst there is a chance to see the Northern Lights tonight there is no guarantee. Cloudy conditions and light pollution can affect visibility.
What you need is dark skies and a clear night to really get the most incredible sighting. So, if you’re looking to get a great glimpse you need to head out of the city or head to higher ground to catch a glimpse.
If you’re wondering how to know when is best to see the Northern Lights – visit the AururaWatchUK which is run by the Department of Physics at Lancaster University and provides a real-time status tool.
If you use a camera with long exposure it allows in loads of light and enhances the colours more than the human eye can see.
