UK skies were lit up on Monday (19 January) by dazzling swirls of green and red from Aurora Boreallis, also known as the Northern Lights. But will you be able to see the weather phenomenon tonight? Good Morning Britain’s Laura Tobin weighed up Brits’ best chance at seeing the impressive spectacle on Tuesday (20 January). The spectacular display earlier in the week was caused by heightened solar activity, specifically severe geomagnetic storms and a Coronal Mass Ejection (CME), and whilst it is most typically observed in polar regions, it can sometimes be visible at much lower latitudes.

The Northern Lights phenomenon was seen widely across Scotland on Monday, from Orkney in the north all the way to the Borders.

The phenomenon known as the Aurora Borealis is the result of solar eruptions sending particles that interact with the Earth's atmosphere.
