Right now, the best forecast says the aurora might dip as far south as central Scotland and even the top of England. That’s rare, like a sunny day in Manchester. But you must wait until after midnight—that’s when the sky gets its act together.
Also, check the moon phase. A full moon is a party pooper—it washes out the faint lights. Tonight, the moon is a slim crescent, so you’re in luck. It’s like the universe is handing you a free glow-in-the-dark ticket.
