Deep Dive 26/03/2024 – Space Weather Special - Met Office Weather Forecast

This is an in-depth Met Office UK Weather forecast for the next week and beyond, dated 26/03/2024

In this week’s special Space Weather Deep Dive we talk to expert Krista Hammond about why we have been seeing the northern lights more than usual recently and whether this trend is going to continue. We’ll also be discussing the impacts solar flares can have on Earth. There will also be a look ahead to the weather we can expect in the run up to Easter, and over the long weekend itself.

Bringing you this deep dive is Met Office meteorologist Alex Burkill.
