Spokesman for the forecaster Stephen Dixon also said there had generally been “more space weather events in recent months”, including the Northern Lights, because the sun was nearing the peak of its solar cycle. The Northern Lights visible above the Forth Bridge, North Queensferry in Fife In its latest space weather forecast, the Met Office says: “The chances of aurora remain initially, though gradually easing through 11 October, becoming increasingly confined to far northern geomagnetic latitudes by 13 October.” And the atmospheric forecast overnight similarly does not bring too much promise, with predictions of rain, which would not provide the clear skies needed to spot the aurora. The forecaster says: “Cloudier skies for many this evening, with outbreaks of rain across Scotland edging southwards, as winds strengthen.” However, the weather service offers some hope for those in search of the Northern Lights. In a post on X on Friday morning, it wrote: “Cloudier skies tonight will limit the chances of seeing the Northern Lights – however, Scotland offers the best chance of seeing the Aurora.”
