‘Extreme' Northern Lights Alert: 27 States May See Aurora This Weekend During Intense Storm
Scotland, East Lothian, silhouette of woman standing on Seacliff Beach watching Northern lights The Northern Lights may be visible from 27 U.S. states on Sunday, June 1 through Monday, June 2, 2025, after a massive geomagnetic storm was forecast by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. "By as early as midday on 01 Jun to early on 02Jun, conditions are expected to increase rapidly with the arrival of the CME from 31 May," said a NOAA post, referring to the arrival of a coronal mass ejection — a huge cloud of charged particles — from he sun. "G3-G4 (Strong-Severe) conditions are likely, with a chance for G5 (Extreme) levels on 01-02 Jun," said NOAA. The effects of the CME could last through Tuesday, June 3. However, NOAA added that, "While confidence is high for CME arrival at Earth, confidence is much lower for timing and magnitude." The effect on darkness hours of Earth's tilt as we approach the solstice on June 21 make the U.S. currently one of the best places to see the Northern Lights. NOAA has also dropped an aurora viewline forecast that indicates that aurora may be seen from 27 U.S. states. According to NOAA, this display may be seen in northern skies from northern Washington, northern Idaho, Montana, northeast Wyoming, North Dakota, South Dakota, Minnesota, Wisconsin, Michigan and Maine — and many others. Regions closest to the border with Canada will have the highest possibility of seeing the aurora. The potential displays of aurora borealis tonight have a predicted Kp index of 7.67. According to NOAA, that means 'the aurora will move even further from the poles and will become quite bright and active. At this geomagnetic activity level, it might be possible to see the aurora from the northern edge of the United States.' NOAA's aurora viewline forecast for Sunday, June1, 2025. Here are some tips for seeing the aurora: The solar wind is a stream of charged particles from the sun interacting with Earth's magnetic field. They're super-charged by a coronal mass ejection that travels to Earth over a few days. Aurora is typically seen in polar regions at around latitudes of 70 degrees north and south, but during extreme geomagnetic conditions — usually when CMEs arrive at Earth one after another, or in tandem — the auroral oval can bulge, with displays then seen as low as 25 degrees north and south of the equator.

Fears leisure centre closure plan pits 'town against town'
A council has been accused of "setting town against town" as a consultation begins on the future of sport, leisure and cultural facilities in the Scottish Borders. Dozens of sites run by charitable trust Live Borders on the local authority's behalf have been recommended for closure in a report by consultants. Scottish Borders Council leader Euan Jardine stressed that no decisions had been made and they were seeking "constructive input". However, Gill Cooper of Abbey Quilters - a community groups which use the Abbey Row centre in Kelso - said it felt like they were pitting towns and villages against one another in order to see which facilities were retained. Speaking after a meeting with other concerned groups at the site which consultants recommended for closure, she said: "We're absolutely disgusted at the questions they're asking on the consultation to be honest. "All they're asking about is individual spaces and numbers - all they're trying to do is set the hall in Earlston against the hall in Kelso, against the hall in Jedburgh." She said the council should be looking to invest in the cultural life of the region and places like Abbey Row were the "bedrock of that Borders life". "Don't be setting town against town, village against village," she added. "Instead, ask what we need in the Borders - what are we trying to achieve in our communities? "Abbey Row has lots of activity every day, which support disability, mental health, dexterity, the loneliness index – I could go on and on. But they're not interested in that." She said that the council had its priorities wrong if it was not prepared to invest in community life and suggested it could use the money from a 10% increase in council tax.

"No decisions have been made, and our conversations with communities, stakeholders and colleagues over the coming months will be vital in building a full picture of priorities, how services and facilities are used, where alternatives exist, and what the impacts of different options might be," he said. "Change is essential to bring Live Borders into a sustainable financial position, but the specific details around services and properties are still up for discussion. "Live Borders is already progressing other actions that could deliver significant savings and when combined with some service and property changes, these will help safeguard the future of sport, leisure, and cultural provision across the region." He said it was important to emphasise any changes would not save the council money but would help Live Borders operate within its budget and make that budget go further.

Farage as PM could push independence support close to 60%, poll suggests
Nigel Farage becoming prime minister could push support for Scottish independence to 58%, a new poll suggests. The survey by Norstat for the Sunday Times, which spoke to 1,007 Scots between May 27 and May 30, showed support for separation currently sits at 54% in Scotland. But if Reform UK were to win the next general election that figure could near the 60% level some believe should be the tipping point for another referendum. The figure rose from 50% in the last Norstat poll in January. The highest that support for independence has reached in recent years is 58%, in an Ipsos Scotland poll for STV News in the early months of the pandemic, as Nicola Sturgeon received plaudits for her handling of Covid-19. But the increase comes as support for the SNP continued to fall ahead of next year's Holyrood elections, with the party dropping two percentage points in both the constituency and regional list votes to 33% and 28% respectively. Labour's support rose slightly to 19% in constituencies and 18% in Scotland's regions. But Reform UK would see a surge, if the poll was to reflect the returns seen next May, with Mr Farage's party jumping to 18% in constituencies and 16% on the list – up two and three percentage points respectively. Meanwhile the Scottish Tories dropped two points to 13% locally and remained at 15% in the regions. According to polling expert Professor Sir John Curtice, in projections for the Sunday Times, John Swinney was on track to win an unprecedented fifth term in office for his party next year, securing 54 seats. Labour would drop to 20 seats, while Reform would win 18 in their first full political test in Scotland. Meanwhile, the Tories would drop from being the second biggest party to the fourth, with just 17 MSPs, followed by the Lib Dems on 11 and the Greens on nine. The poll also looked at Westminster voting intentions, with the SNP recording 31% of the vote, followed by Reform surging into second on 21% and Labour dropping 15 points from last year's election to 20%. The Conservatives sit at 12%, while 8% said they would vote for the Lib Dems. But despite leaping into second, Nigel Farage's party would not return a single MP, the polling expert said, with the SNP rising to 30, Labour falling to 16 and the Lib Dems and Tories remaining on six and five respectively.
