People across the country have said they spotted the Northern Lights across British skies on Sunday night.
If you missed the spectacular display last night don't worry too much as you may have another chance tonight. The Met Office confirmed that there is an Aurora forecast for tonight across the UK, however, you may have a better chance of seeing them depending on where you live.
According to the Met Office, the best place to see the Northern Lights tonight is in the North West region of Scotland. However, Northern areas of England, such as Manchester, also have a high chance of seeing the lights due to the higher likeliness of 'transitory cloud breaks', according to the Met Office.

The Met Office highlights: "Predominantly the northern lights are best witnessed in Scotland, North England, North Wales and Northern Ireland. However, under severe space weather conditions, the lights can be seen throughout the UK."
What are the best conditions to try and spot the Northern Lights?
Northern Lights occur as a direct result of solar activity colliding with the Earth's atmosphere.
According to the Met Office, the best weather conditions to see the Lights are when the "sky is dark and clear of any clouds". This is because clouds will block any view of the lights.
It's also a good idea to travel to an area that has minimal light pollution including more remote areas. The Met Office adds: "Ideally, the lights will be best viewed away from any light pollution, in remote areas, facing the northern horizon - north facing coasts produce some of the best viewing locations.
"The northern lights are most active during the Equinox and Solstice in March/April and September/October."
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."
