The Met Office has said the Northern Lights could appear over England tonight (Sunday, February 26) and tomorrow (Monday). Usually only Scotland and parts of northern England are treated to glimpses of the Aurora Borealis on the rare occasion they can be seen in the UK, but they could be visible much further south this time.
In a tweet shared just before 6.30pm, the Met Office said: "The Aurora Borealis may be visible as far south as central England tonight where skies remain clear. The Northern Lights are also likely to be seen again on Monday night."
It comes just a few days after a Bristol resident took a photo of the sky outside their home tinged with a strange green glow. The witness said it looked just like the Northern Lights, although other explanations emerged from people who were more sceptical that they could be seen so far south.
