Northern Lights may be visible across UK after strong geomagnetic storm forecast

The North East of England could see the Northern Lights again in the early hours of Thursday morning after a geomagnetic storm warning was issued by the US Space Weather Prediction Centre.

The forecast comes after 17 solar flares burst from the same location on the Sun's surface to create a 'Cannibal Coronal Mass Ejection,' reports Wales Online. This could impact technology, but it could also see the Aurora Borealis lighting up the skies across the UK, much further south than usual, according to the Met Office.

Northumberland has low levels of light pollution, making it one of the best places to observe the Aurora in England. However, several areas of the county are predicted to have some cloud cover when the lights are due at around 3am on the morning of Thursday March 31.
