People across the UK have managed to catch a glimpse of the Northern Lights on both Sunday and Monday nights, with the natural phenomena even spotted as far south as Kent. Residents in Scotland were rewarded with the best displays, with the lights also made appearances in Lancashire and the Lake District.
Unfortunately it proved tricky spotting the lights over Greater Manchester due to cloud cover, although some residents did see faint patches of colour in the breaks in the cloud. Passengers on board an easyJet plane from Reykjavik to Manchester were even treated to some of the best views after the pilot did a 360-turn to ensure everyone could see them.
But those still hoping to see the Northern Lights may be left disappointed as the Met Office has confirmed that it “isn’t likely” that the lights will be seen over northern England tonight. However, they may still be spotted in north-west Scotland.
