Despite the predicted presence of Northern Lights on Monday evening, forecasters predict that visibility across Scotland will be “unlikely” due to cloudy conditions.
The aurora borealis, otherwise known as the Northern Lights, was visible across Scottish skies on Sunday evening.
The Northern Lights are the result of particles from the sun being carried on solar winds and then interacting with the Earth’s atmosphere.
According to the Met Office, a “combination of fast solar winds” and the “recent arrival of a Coronal Mass Ejection from the sun” made conditions optimum for stargazers to see the lights.
While forecasters have predicted that the aurora borealis is also tipped to put in an appearance on Monday, they say that any visibility will be “unlikely” – due to cloudy conditions.
A Met Office spokesperson said: “Despite some residual enhancement of geomagnetic activity into the evening of the 25th March, cloudy conditions cause any aurora sightings to be unlikely.”
