On the night of August 13, the northern lights were visible over Ukraine, which is unusual for our latitudes. The phenomenon was observed together with the Perseid meteor shower due to an anticyclone that caused clear weather. This was reported on Tuesday by the Volyn Regional Center for Hydrometeorology, according to UNN.  

On the night of Tuesday, August 13, the northern lights were observed over the territory of Ukraine, which is not typical for our latitudes. The purple light could be seen in combination with the Perseid meteor shower

- the agency said.

It is noted that the unusual phenomenon was also noticed in Volyn, in Manevychi.

It is noted that the northern lights can usually be observed at polar latitudes of 90-70°, while Ukraine is located at latitudes of 52-44°.

"The opportunity to admire this phenomenon was due to the anticyclone, which caused low clouds and no precipitation. A similar synoptic situation will last until the end of the working week," the report said.
