DERRY COULD SEE THE NORTHERN LIGHTS THIS WEEK….CLEAR SKIES PERMITTING

IT is one of the magical wonders of the world – the Northern Lights.

Now the Met Office say Derry along with many parts of the North West may get to see the spectacular Aurora Borealis as forecasters call it.

But a lot will depend on the weather and if cloud cover can stay away for clear skies at night.

The Met Office have said that a number of factors have contributed to an increased likelihood in sightings.

Its down to a combination of magnetic field activity, solar developments and clearer autumnal skies.
