Solar storm could cause Aurora Northern Lights display to be seen in UK on Monday

A rare opportunity to see the Aurora natural light display could be experienced by people across the world on Monday.

The phenomenon can most commonly be seen in high latitude areas of the world. But the Daily Star reports that a solar storm expected to hit Earth could cause the Aurora - also known as the Northern Lights - to be visible further towards the equator on this occasion.

Physicists have been trying to forecast when the storm is going to hit Earth. Data from Nasa and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) based in the US suggests it is likely to strike the planet over the next fortnight.
