THE MET Office has confirmed that the Northern Lights might be visible across the UK today. 

The lights, which are difficult to see through the naked eye, have also been confirmed by NASA, as a "moderate geomagnetic storm" is heading towards Earth and could be visible across the UK. 

The Met Office said: "There were three coronal mass ejections observed in coronagraph imagery in the past 24 hours.

"The first was a full halo coronal mass ejection from the far-side of the Sun around 23/0030 UTC, which produced the current and on-going minor (S1) proton storm event.

"The second was observed at 23/0400 UTC off the southwest limb, associated with C3 flare, which has been analysed as a likely miss ahead of Earth arriving at 1AU on 26 Jul.

"The final coronal mass ejection was from the southwest limb, associated with the M2.4 flare near AR3764 at 23/1430 UTC.

"This gave a wide and moderately fast coronal mass ejection, perhaps with low confidence of glancing impacts at Earth possible on or around 26 Jul."

The Northern Lights, also known as Aurora Borealis, was last seen over Worcester in May.

At the time, Donna Bird from Worcester said: "It’s amazing that we have got to see it here, especially in a lit up city centre."

James Mitchell, who captured images from Malvern in May, said: "It was an extraordinary and awe-inspiring experience to observe the aurora borealis with the naked eye.

"The celestial display was so captivating that it felt as if I was gazing upon the heavens from another celestial body."
