A partial solar eclipse will also be visible in areas of the UK this weekend
The Northern Lights were visible in the UK this week, particularly in Whitley Bay and Tyne and Wear. There's a chance to see them again tonight over northern Scotland, though cloud cover may hinder visibility. A partial solar eclipse will also be visible in the UK this weekend between 9:56 am and 12:14 pm, with the peak in London around 11:03 am, but cloud cover may impact viewing, especially in northern Scotland. The increased visibility of the Northern Lights is attributed to the sun being in its solar maximum phase.
