The Northern Lights have splashed vivid colour across UK night skies once again, with stunning images captured all across the country.
The lights, also known as aurora borealis, were expected to be seen only as far south as the Midlands, but on Wednesday night, according to BBC Weather was the strongest and most widespread showing of the phenomenon in the UK since May.
As solar activity weakens, it might still be possible for those in some Northern areas to see the lights on Friday, but elsewhere, the chances are low.
BBC Weather Watchers‘ readers and viewers sent in almost 5000 photos of the lights – here are some of the best along with some agency pictures and snaps shared with the BBC on social media.
