Where to watch the Northern Lights in Liverpool
For those constantly on the lookout for weather space reports, it’s important to know where to go for the perfect opportunity to invoke our sense of adventure on an autumn night. An excellent place to start aurora hunting would be away from light pollution and facing the northern hemisphere. However, as the nights are shorter now, the chances of witnessing aurora borealis have gotten lower.
What is more, those wanting to maximise their chances to see the Northern Lights tonight can opt for a stroll along the nearby beaches outside of Liverpool such as the city’s beaches to allow for some uninterrupted dark views over the water. It is advised that aurora hunters steer away from the city lights for the best chances of seeing the majestic space phenomena. And as always, do check the weather forecast before heading out!
So, while there is a chance to see the Northern Lights in England, let’s hope we will be graced with the majestic phenomena during the period.
