Skygazers were treated to the natural phenomena in Whitley Bay on the north east coast, Essex, Cambridgeshire and Wokingham in Berkshire Coupled with clear skies overnight, the Northern Lights were seen in southern areas such as Whitley Bay on the northeast coast, Essex, Cambridgeshire and Wokingham in Berkshire.
America’s National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration said the geomagnetic storm measured G5 on their scale, representing the strongest possible level of geomagnetic storms.Britons were warned ahead of the event on Friday that GPS systems and electricity grids could be affected. Social media users took to X, formerly Twitter, to share their views of the night sky, with a Beacon Cricket Club in Cornwall saying, “You don’t need to go to Scandinavia to see the Northern Lights, just pop up to Beacon.”Adam in Brighton said: “I really expected to be freezing cold in Iceland in the middle of winter trying to see the Northern Lights. Not in my garden on a warm evening in Brighton.
The colours occur due to different gases in the Earth’s atmosphere being energised by the charged particles.
