While the Northern Lights are extremely rare in the UK, the CMEs that emit green and red light as they collide with Earth can result in the fascinating colours being visible in the sky. However, your chances of seeing the light show will vary depending on which area in the country you are in and whether the weather is favourable or not.
The Met Office confirmed that there is a small chance of the Northern Lights appearing tonight (Wednesday), but chances will be higher tomorrow. It added that while the lights may be visible in northern England, it is more likely to be seen in Scotland, depending on cloud cover.

"One, as a low confidence glancing blow later on 19 Apr, with a more direct impact likely either on 20 or 21 Apr. There is a very slight chance of G1/Minor storm intervals again due to the potential glancing CME later on 19 Apr.
"Activity is likely to reach Active to G1/Minor Storm levels on 20 or 21 Apr due to the anticipated CME arrival, with a chance of G2/Moderate or G3/Strong Storm conditions. The CME on 20/21 Apr is likely to lead to visible
