Clear skies mean parts of the UK are in with a chance of seeing the Northern Lights tonight.
The spectacular light display could be visible in parts of Scotland and Northern Ireland, with the best locations in rural areas away from towns and cities.
Dry and clear conditions in northern areas are ideal for spotting the Aurora Borealis, which is caused by charged particles being thrown around by solar winds.
Those committed to getting a glimpse of the extraordinary weather phenomenon will have to endure below-freezing temperatures with some regions dropping to -2C overnight.
Tomorrow will be sunnier than today but remain cold with clear skies and spring sunshine.
Cloud will dominate in Wales, Northern Ireland, Scotland and the north of England, but conditions will be much warmer with more sunshine on Monday.
The Met Office said the phenomenon, known as the Aurora Borealis (pictured over St Mary's Lighthouse in Whitley Bay in 2014), may be visible in Scotland and parts of Northern Ireland

Scattered showers will mean people in Edinburgh and Glasgow are likely to miss out.
Further north, in the Scottish Highlands, or east, in Dundee and Aberdeen, the sky is likely to be clearer.
The Met Office said there is a 'moderate' chance of seeing the sky light up in fabulous colours.
The Northern Lights are created by disturbances in Earth's magnetosphere caused by a flow of particles from the Sun, and are usually concentrated around the Earth's magnetic poles.
The southward shift of the lights today is caused by an ejection of plasma, known as a Coronal Mass Ejection (CME) from the Sun, which followed a solar flare on Wednesday.
The Met Office tweeted to tell people which parts of the countries are in with a chance of seeing the lights on Saturday evening
Bonnie Diamond, meteorologist at the Met Office, said: 'A Coronal Mass Ejection has happened and the effects of that are expected to arrive later tomorrow evening.
'This type of active geomagnetic storm means that there is the possibility of the aurora borealis, commonly known as the Northern Lights.
'Whether or not you will see the Northern Lights depends on where you are and what the weather is like. Scotland is where you're most likely to see it.
'There's a couple of showers on the west coast of Scotland on Saturday evening, and with those showers there will be a bit of cloud.
'However, the clearest skies are further east in Aberdeenshire, where there are plenty of clear skies. Further north, you're pretty likely to see something.'
The Met Office's Space account tweeted: 'CME forecast to arrive late 23rd March following C5 flare from sunspot AR2736. Active-minor geomagnetic storm periods possible with low risk of moderate storms.
'As a result, aurora may be visible in Scotland where cloud breaks. Latest forecast available'
NOAA, an American agency that monitors the atmosphere, said the Northern Lights could be visible as far south as Michigan and Wisconsin in the United States.

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.
Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
