UPDATE! CME passage intensified; things are favorable for G4 levels to potentially continue into night hours. Keep space weather aware at swpc.noaa.gov for the latest. We take actions to notify officials and critical infrastructure operators, so you can enjoy the aurora

The aurora has been visible across many parts of the UK this evening
Here are some photos taken by our meteorologists situated across the country

Look north in the coming nights and you may spot the #NorthernLights 👀
A coronal mass ejection from the sun is earth bound and whilst there's some uncertainty on its arrival time, sightings of the #aurora are likely in northern areas with a slight chance in the south too
