Now when the weather all over the globe is on the brink of fluctuating, and the nights are particularly stretching their way out, there are increased chances to view nature's spellbinding phenomenon Aurora Borealis or Northern Lights.

Especially in the United Kingdom, the chances to experience the enthralling sight of Aurora Borealis is heightened as compared to other places.

Not fully comprehended, the science behind the Northern Lights suggest that the period around Spring and Autumn are more inclined to see Aurora Borealis sightings as compared to the other months of Winter and Summer.

The British Geological Survey, Aurorawatch U.K. and the US body Space Weather Prediction Centre confirmed the validity of the amplified chances of glimpsing Aurora, reports the BBC.

The Aurora Borealis is caused due to the amalgamation of solar wind, a ray of charged particles exiting the vicinity of the sun and the Earth's magnetic field and atmosphere.

The MetOffice explains the incident:

The Sun goes through an 11 year solar cycle, from solar minimum, through solar maximum and back to solar minimum. We are now in the declining phase of the solar cycle following the solar max which occurred in early 2014. During the current phase of the solar cycle coronal holes that begin the cycle in the Sun's 'polar' regions have now migrated towards the Sun's equator, meaning they are on a similar line of latitude to the Earth (i.e. facing the planets rather than directed north and south out of the solar system). These coronal holes give rise to high speed solar wind streams that buffet the Earth, disturbing the Earth's magnetic field.

It further maintains that the strength of the disturbance directly relates to how far south the aurora is visible (or how far north if you are in the southern hemisphere), and of course you need clear skies to see it.

Therefore, due to the current favorable atmosphere's condition and the ongoing recent activity on the sun, Aurora Borealis will soon be sighted in the sky, especially in countries including Scotland, Northern England and Northern Ireland. These places offer the best spot to observe and witness the mind blowing occurrence.

According to BBC Weather, the mentioned places would make a suitable position to detect the miracle on Wednesday night, whereas other places would be "fairly cloudy".

British Geological Survey established "A very large, centrally located coronal hole has rotated around the Sun's surface so that it is now facing the Earth.

"This means that a stream of fast solar wind is currently hitting the Earth's magnetic field and causing an increase in geomagnetic activity."

BSG added: "Assuming clear dark skies, there is an increased chance of seeing the aurora overnight Wednesday and Thursday, particularly for those in Scotland, northern England and Northern Ireland."

Aurora borealis has already been witnessed this week from the Isle of Lewis, Aberdeenshire and Northumberland.
