More northern U.S. states are expected to see aurora borealis Monday night as an incoming geomagnetic storm is expected to affect Earth’s magnetic field, according to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.

The northern lights are forecast for Jan. 31 through Feb. 1, 2025. Here's when and how to spot the last-minute auroras.

According to the Met Office, people in the Shetland Islands could expect to see the Northern Lights from around 7pm this evening, with a peak time of around 8pm. People in the northern part of the mainland could catch a glimpse of the lights from around 9pm, with the lights fading away from around 11pm tonight to 1am on Thursday.

Aspiring viewers of the Northern Lights are encouraged to go as far north as possible, away from light pollution, and face the northern horizon. The best time to view the lights is between 10 p.m. and 2 a.m. local time, and a high vantage point increases the likelihood of seeing the phenomena.
