Could 2023 be the year you finally see the aurora?

The Northern Lights depend on solar activity, and the sun is currently in a very active phase.

This means that there is a good chance of seeing the aurora borealis in the UK this year. However, it is important to note that the aurora is a natural phenomenon, and it is not always possible to predict when it will be visible.

The best time to see the aurora is during the winter months, when the nights are longer and the skies are darker. The aurora is most likely to be visible in the northern parts of the UK, such as Scotland and Northern Ireland.

If you are hoping to see the aurora, it is important to find a dark location with a clear view of the horizon. You should also be patient, as it can take several hours for the aurora to appear. If you are lucky, you will be rewarded with a truly unforgettable sight.
