Wales gets dazzling display of Northern Lights

Wales was treated to a breathtaking display overnight from the Northern Lights.

Dozens of BBC Weather Watchers captured the aurora borealis on camera across the whole of Wales including Anglesey, Flintshire, Powys, Ceredigion, Merthyr Tydfil and Swansea.

They could be seen after one of the strongest geomagnetic storms for years hit Earth, with the US National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) issuing a rare solar storm warning.

Such storms increase people's chances of seeing the lights.

BBC Wales weatherman Derek Brockway described the sights as a "treat" on X, formerly Twitter, after he saw them for himself at Pendine, Carmarthenshire.
