BBC Weather forecasts northern lights may return to Wales tonight

Forecasters say there might be another chance to catch the northern lights on Monday night. There was a spectacular display on Sunday night into Monday morning with people from the Shetland Islands to the Isle of Scilly where skies were clear.

There were reports of sightings of the lights in Cardigan, Pembrokeshire, the Gower and the Brecon Beacons following a huge geomagnetic storm registering 4 out of 5 on the scale. The northern lights are most active during the Equinox and Solstice in March/April and September/October.

And BBC Weather say there could be another change to see them again on Monday night, but there is a warning that temperatures are set to drop if you are planning to head out. They say: "There might be another chance to catch the aurora tonight. Be prepared for a chilly one though. As skies clear in many areas, the temperatures will drop quickly."
