Northern Lights in Scotland: Met Office issues update on second display this weekend
18.05.2024 - 18:15 / dailyrecord.co.uk
The Met Office has issued an update on the Northern Lights being visible in Scotland this weekend, after forecasters predicted more dazzling light displays.
Last weekend, unsuspecting countries across the world witnessed the aurora borealis as a result of severe solar storms.
The Met Office suggested that the geomagnetic storms arriving on Friday could enhance the visibility of the aurora.

A representative from the Met Office commented: "The aurora may become visible perhaps very briefly for parts of northern Scotland where skies are clear before sunrise. Activity expected to decline through the day with no significant activity expected overnight from May 18 into the 19th. So unfortunately there is little to no chance of seeing anything in London tonight and only a small chance in northern Scotland towards dawn. There is no aurora expected the following night."
Auroras are created when charged particles clash with gases in our planet's atmosphere near the magnetic poles. As it stands, the sun is now in the most active phase of its 11-year cycle.
Weather expert, Krista Hammond told the Standard: "The sunspot region will be coming back round onto the Earth facing side of the sun.
"We're currently at solar maximum and we're seeing more sunspots. If we see more sunspots, we see this increased frequency in space weather and therefore the aurora."
Despite her insights, she lessened expectations for a complete repetition of last weekend's spectacular show.
In elaborating, she said: "It was such a unique set of circumstances that happened
