The Northern Lights could make an appearance across Ireland this weekend similar to the display put on in May earlier this year.

The display is most likely to be visible from across the north of Ireland.

Met Éireann provides advice on the best place to see the lights.

"The Northern Lights are best observed in locations with very small amounts of light pollution. Parts of the west and north coast would offer the greatest chance of seeing the display.
There are a number of forecast services for the Northern Lights; one such service comes from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). This provides a thirty minute forecast for the Aurora."

Hopefully the stormy weather forecast for the weekend holds off long enough for us to get a glimpse of the sights.
