According to Met Office forecasts, the aurora will be visible over parts of Scotland and the North of England tonight and tomorrow evening.
The Northern Lights, or aurora borealis, are caused by the interaction between charged particles ejected from the sun and gases in the Earth's atmosphere.
On September 29, the Sun released a large coronal mass ejection which is due to strike Earth with a glancing blow sometime today.
However, experts caution that tonight's solar activity will not be large enough to trigger occurrences as vibrant as past displays.
