subject: Why The United Kingdom Has High Chance Of Seeing The Aurora Borealis This Year [print this page] England's skies will be favored with the presence of the aurora borealis this year as predicted by scientists so keep your eyes fixated on the skies and be on guard for its sudden and untimely appearance. This could be your opportunity to see the northern lights without having to travel to the Arctic Circle region to witness the phenomena, as astronomers expect an enormous solar storm that would cause the northern lights to be seen as far as south of UK.
A solar flare is expected to hit the Earth's atmosphere and the radiation it emits will cause the northern lights to be visible in the UK. It is also more likely you will get a better chance of catching the northern lights in the northern part of UK. Get your camera ready as they can manifest in the skies anytime and don't forget to bring extra batteries. There's a chance for the solar flare to interrupt power supply, says the British Geological Survey, so it is highly-advisable to wait for a little while before uploading the pictures into your computer.
The solar storm is expected to be the most intense in over four years and it is more likely to cause electrical and radio disturbances.
Solar aficionados all over the United Kingdom are excited to see the northern lights. A report from the British Geological Survey warns that there were three massive solar flares that exploded on the sun and released coronal mass ejections or charged plasma to the Earth. The report may sound scary but on the contrary, it paves the way for British to see the northern lights across England's skies, which can only happen rarely. The places in the UK where the aurora borealis is said to appear are in Scotland, Kent, and Cornwall.
Another report from the British Geological Survey showed that a coronal mass ejection had arrived last February 14, making the Valentine 's Day even more memorable for dating couples. The northern lights were seen further south than usual.
The northern lights can be clearly seen if the skies are clear and less cloudy. These conditions must be met so that the colors can be emphasized more across the skies. The rarity of the aurora's occurrence in the UK makes the sighting priceless because luck determines a spectator's chance more than anything else. Photographers could earn a lot from selling authentic aurora photos taken from the UK.
