Map reveals exact areas to catch Northern Lights again tonight in UK

If you're absolutely kicking yourself for missing the Northern Lights on Friday evening (10 May) then you'll be pleased to know you could be able to catch them again tonight.

Thanks to an 'extreme' geomagnetic storm, the Northern Lights were far more visible from Britain on Friday because of the combination of clear skies and enhanced activity from the Sun reaching Earth, according to the Met Office.

Many areas of the UK were able to witness the spectacle, with the likes of Suffolk, Kent, Hampshire and Liverpool lucky enough to catch a glimpse.

But if you woke up this morning filled with regret for choosing to snooze instead, you might get a second chance tonight (11 May).

Ever since the breathtaking images started flooding social media this morning, people have been desperate to find out if they can watch the aurora this evening.

ITV meteorologist Chris Page has shared his top tips to spot the lights, meanwhile one photographer has urged people to switch on a specific phone setting to capture the best results.

There's also a handy interactive map which shows which areas will be most likely to witness the spectacle once again.

According to experts, Scotland and the north of England will be the most likely to see the lights, with visibility beginning at around 9pm.

Meteorologist Craig Snell told The Sun people should try and go as far north as possible.

"As far north as you can go," he said.

"The middle of nowhere with nothing polluting the sky. Somewhere very dark, in the countryside, a country park.

"Parts of the south may see some visibility. The activity tonight won't be as strong as yesterday, it'll be harder with just the naked eye, you might need a decent camera."

Meanwhile, Met Office spokesman Oli Claydon said Scotland, Northern Ireland and parts of northern England and Wales could get some sightings.

The best time to spot the Northern Lights will be between 10.00pm and 2.00am in the UK.

Chris Page said: "Activity is expected to slowly decline, however there is a good chance (cloud permitting) you’ll be able to see it again tonight."

Meanwhile, Krista Hammond, the Met Office’s space weather manager, added: “Aurora visibility may persist through Saturday night, but as it stands this is likely to be less widespread than on Friday night with northern parts of the UK most likely to continue to have the best viewing potential.”
