Scotland aurora forecast
Stornoway has a reasonable chance if clouds stay low and the aurora oval pushes south. Dark sites north of town help.
Tonight plan
It is worth watching conditions in Stornoway. A short drive away from city lights can make the difference if the aurora brightens.
For most mid-latitude locations, a clear northern horizon matters more than standing downtown. Look north, avoid street lights, and give your eyes at least 15 minutes to adapt.
