A number of news reports today have suggested that tonight (Thursday) could be our best chance in years to see the Aurora Borealis, or Northern Lights. It is thought that the best time for viewing will probably be between midnight and 3am, and the Met Office’s current cloud cover forecast bodes well for our area.
If we do strike it lucky, any photo or video evidence would be greatly appreciated!
For more info, read the news reports in The Guardian / The Independent / The Telegraph.
For more alerts as the night progresses, Lancaster University’s AuroraWatch project has a regularly updated Facebook page, Twitter feed and website.


1am – it’s cloudy!!!
