PEOPLE could be able to see the northern lights in Worcestershire’s skies tonight.
People are enjoying seeing the aurora borealis over the county with stunning images captured in places such as Malvern, Drakes Broughton and the observational tower at Croome Court.
The Northern Lights are typically seen nearer to the Arctic Circle in locations such as Norway and Iceland and it is rare to see them in the UK.
They are caused by particles from the sun entering the Earth's atmosphere at high speed.
The Met Office has confirmed that the phenomenon will be visible again in the UK tonight.
However, it will mainly be in the north of the country.
They added that the phenomenon will only be observable through cameras and not to the naked eye.
The best areas to observe the phenomenon are those with a north-facing horizon and lower light pollution at times when the sky is clear of clouds and rain.
