Northern lights visible over Örebro and Skåne

Northern lights have spread across the sky in Örebro county during Sunday evening, reports Nerikes Allehanda. Earlier, late on Saturday evening, the beautiful light phenomenon was observed in Skåne, from Bjäre to Bunkeflo, according to Sydsvenskan. Several readers have captured the phenomenon in photos.

The aurora borealis, the fascinating natural light phenomenon, has recently been visible in southern and central Sweden. According to Nerikes Allehanda, the northern lights spread across much of Örebro county during Sunday evening. Several readers reported sightings of the green-glowing light in the sky, with the article written by Daniel Nilsson.

The day before, late on Saturday evening, the northern lights were documented over Skåne by Sydsvenskan's readers. The phenomenon was seen from Bjäre in the north to Bunkeflo in the south, and the newspaper encouraged sharing photos. Emelie Malmros authored the text in the Skåne newspaper.

These observations highlight how the aurora sometimes reaches so far south in Sweden, likely due to increased solar activity, though specific causes are not mentioned in the reports. No contradictions exist between the sources, both of which emphasize readers' contributions to the documentation. The phenomenon provides a rare visual experience for residents in the regions.
