⚠️ AURORA ALERT ⚠️
For those that aren't aware, there was a significant X4.5 #solar flare earlier today. The NOAA Space Weather Prediction Center is predicting the CME from that event will arrive on Monday, Sept 16 (UTC) as a G3 geomagnetic storm!
For people in North America, that means early Monday morning, possibly all the way into the evening.
For Europeans, late Monday morning into Tuesday.
For Aussies et al, early Tuesday morning?
#aurora
For someone living in sweden south of stockholm this probably means nothing right? I moved here a few months ago but havent been able to see aurora. They say sometimes you can see it from here.
Unfortunately probably not. G3 events aren’t that uncommon, there’s usually one every couple months. It never hurts to go look for a few minutes though. It’s a pretty rough prediction, it’s not set in stone. The best I’ve seen was a G4 and not the big G5 a few months ago.
