Space experts say there is a good chance of seeing the Northern Lights as far south as southern England tonight and tomorrow night.
The Met Office has issued a geomagnetic storm watch for a G3 storm from May 10 to May 12 after coronal mass ejections left the surface of the sun a few days ago.
"If it arrives during darkness, there's the possibility of the aurora borealis being visible as far south as southern England and South Wales." Space weather forecasters have issued a Severe Geomagnetic Storm Watch for the evening of Friday, May 10. Additional solar eruptions could cause geomagnetic storm conditions to persist through the weekend, they say.
CMEs are explosions of plasma and magnetic fields from the sun’s corona. They cause geomagnetic storms when they are directed at Earth.
