Northern Lights to shine across much of the UK again TONIGHT as a huge solar storm strikes Earth .
This evening a brilliant aurora will flare up again over Scotland and Northern Ireland - with a chance of sightings over parts of Northern England and Wales .
The Met Office predicts that there is a 'slight chance' of the aurora appearing over northern England .
This is because the coronal mass ejection which left the Sun on May 17 is likely to mostly miss Earth but experts say a bigger impact is possible.
As particles from the Sun hit the atmosphere, they not only create the aurora but also create an electrical charge which can create problems. Dr Bloomer says: 'Recent activity has been causing some disruptions to radio signals, typically very high-frequency ones. 'This can cause minor breakdowns in communications, inaccurate GPS or other satellite activity and navigational problems.' However, even with the biggest geomagnetic storm in 20 years the disruption was fairly limited and only affected a few specialist communication systems. And with tonight 's storm being considerably smaller, there is very little chance of any noticeable disruption..
