A new red alert has been issued for May 18 with displays visible anywhere in the UK
Scientists at Aurora Watch UK have issued a red alert that we could see the spectacular displays once more this evening on Saturday .
The Met Office space weather unit said: “Enhancement to the aurora is likely into early May 18,” adding: "The aurora may become visible as far south as parts of Scotland where skies are clear. Mainly background aurora conditions are expected thereafter." Tonight could be the last display of the current storm, but the BBC reports another solar blast is expected in two weeks when the sunspot that created the Northern Lights rotates back towards the Earth.
