A coronal hole is expected to enhance geomagnetic activity to STORM levels, increasing chances of seeing the aurora in Scotland, Northern Ireland and the north of England (if you are lucky to have clear sky, low light pollution and a good pair of thermals).
Geomagnetic activity is expected to increase following the anticipated arrival of a CME in the early hours of 30-APR. This, combined with a coronal hole high-speed stream, will increase chances of seeing aurora overnight on 29-APR and 30-APR. Let's hope for clear skies!
A full-halo CME left the Sun on 10-Mar and is expected to arrive late on 13-Mar. Geomagnetic activity may reach STORM levels resulting in an increased chance of viewing the aurora in parts of Northern England, Scotland and Northern Ireland, providing the skies are clear!
Increased chance of seeing the aurora on the evening of the 11-November and early morning of the 12-November due to a Coronal Mass Ejection from 9-November; assuming clear dark skies.
Geomagnetic storm in progress! The anticipated coronal mass ejection arrived at Earth at around 2am UT this morning. STORM conditions have been recorded for several hours, and plenty of aurora sightings from around the world. (1/4)
Two Earth directed CMEs left the Sun on 28th March and are expected to arrive early on the 31st. Geomagnetic activity will potentially reach STORM G3. Increased chance of seeing some aurora on 31st March and 1st April for those further north. Assuming clear, dark skies of course!
Assuming clear dark skies, there is an increased chance of seeing the aurora on 30th September and 1st October. This is because a Coronal Hole's high speed stream will reach Earth today.
Alert! Increased chance of seeing the aurora from 11th Oct. An Earth-directed coronal mass ejection is on it's way and could increase geomagnetic activity to storm levels on arrival.

Geomagnetic storm in progress! The anticipated coronal mass ejection arrived at Earth at around 11am UT this morning, 13-Mar. Global STORM conditions have been recorded since then, for several hours now.
A CME arrival last night caused a significant increase in geomagnetic activity & aurora sightings across much of the UK. Another CME has arrived today so there remains a good chance for some aurora sightings tonight (27-FEB).

Early notice that there could be an increase in geomagnetic activity in next few days due to recent solar activity. Waiting on further data and analysis at the moment. Will update tomorrow.
Boom! X1.0 class flare from active region 12887 this afternoon. We're currently waiting on more data about the event but a coronal mass ejection is likely so chance of an increase in geomagnetic activity when it arrives (arrival time TBC!)
A coronal mass ejection associated with an X1.0 flare on the 28th is on it's way. Expected to arrive late on the 30th. Geomagnetic activity could potentially be up to STORM G3. Increased chance of seeing some aurora for those further north. Assuming clear, dark skies of course!
Assuming clear dark skies, there is an increased chance of seeing the aurora on 1st and 2nd February. This is because a Coronal Mass Ejection unleashed on the 29th of January is heading towards the Earth and is expected to cause disturbance to the geomagnetic field.
Significant increase in geomagnetic activity expected over the weekend! Increased chance of seeing the aurora tonight 10-11 May and tomorrow night 11-12 May.
Geomagnetic conditions and solar wind parameters are currently elevated. Further geomagnetic activity expected today due to ongoing CME effects and on 2-APR following the arrival of another anticipated CME. More chances of seeing the aurora overnight on 31-MAR and again on 2-APR.
🚨Strong geomagnetic storm underway. Decent chance of seeing the aurora. Reports of sightings across the UK as the sky darkens into evening. Cloud cover may be a challenge in places.
Tomorrow, Sat 13th March at 6pm (UK time)

Increased chance of aurora tonight as a space weather alert has been issued for the anticipated geomagnetic storm due in the next 24 hours. For more information please visit:
There's an increased chance of observing the aurora borealis in Northern parts of the UK on Saturday evening as geomagnetic activity is expected to increase to possible STORM G2 intervals over the weekend.
Next 72hrs - ACTIVE. Although initially QUIET, geomagnetic activity is expected to increase on Saturday due to the effects of a large coronal hole elevating solar wind speeds. This also brings a chance of isolated STORM G2 conditions through Saturday.
Would you like to see the aurora? If you are in the north of the UK tonight might be the night! : If your weather is clear in the early morning, set your alarm for after midnight, grab a cuppa ☕️ and look up at the sky 👩🚀👨🚀
Alert! Increased chance of seeing the aurora over 9-10th December. An Earth-directed coronal mass ejection is on it's way and could increase geomagnetic activity to storm levels on arrival.
Solar storm has arrived bringing some active geomagnetic conditions. Reports of aurora seen across the north of Scotland so far. Further activity likely over the next few hours and could still increase to storm levels.
A geomagnetic storm started this morning, following two CME arrivals. There may be an increased chance for seeing the
#aurora
tonight in areas where the weather is favourable, if the storm conditions continue.
There's a chance of
#Aurora
tomorrow evening, Saturday the 2nd/early Sunday 3rd September due to a CME (coronal mass ejection) arrival. Find all the info at:
Increased chance of seeing the aurora on Monday and Tuesday nights due to a CME (coronal mass ejection) that arrived today and a larger one due on Tuesday 19th, possibly combined with a coronal hole high speed stream. Assuming clear, dark skies of course!
Sadly, the recent solar storm was not as strong as we had anticipated. However, the geomagnetic conditions still remain enhanced and could result in further active periods during the next 24 hours, with more aurora displays hopefully!
Geomagnetic storm in progress! There is a chance for aurora sightings tonight if the storm persists. In the UK cloud cover might be a challenge. Look to the north, and good luck!
There is an increased chance of seeing the aurora during the 16th – 17th December due to incoming glancing blow from a coronal mass ejection associated with an X-class solar flare.
A coronal mass ejection left the Sun on 2nd Nov & is expected to arrive late tonight/early tomorrow. This could lead to STORM conditions and an increased chance of aurora, particulalry for those in the north of the UK. Weather dependent of course!
Enhanced geomagnetic activity could increase the chances of seeing aurora in the next 24 hours. In the UK, those in Scotland, northern England and Northern Ireland may have the best opportunities. For more information please visit:
While we won't see a repeat of last Friday's display (strongest geomagnetic storm of this solar cycle so far), further, lighter geomagnetic activity is expected tonight. Those in the north will have the best chance of spotting the aurora assuming clear dark skies.
Geomagnetic activity is expected to increase following the anticipated glancing blow from two CME on 13-FEB. This will increase chances of seeing aurora overnight on 13-FEB and the morning of 14-FEB UT. Let's hope for clear skies!

Next 24hrs increased chance of seeing the aurora due to increased activity caused by the arrival of two CMEs in the early hours of the 31st. Given the likely time of arrival combined with these bright summer nights perhaps not the best opportunity for observers in the UK.
Next 72hrs - QUIET. The Earth remains under coronal hole influence so we are expecting elevated geomagnetic conditions continuing across the next two days before a gradual decline on day 3. There is a chance for a STORM G1 event to occur in the next 24 hours.
For all you Aurora seekers out there, let us make a prayer for clearer skies because we may observe aurora borealis in its full splendour this evening. The current geomagnetic activity is disturbed and has already escalated to minor storm intervals.
Increased chance of seeing the aurora tonight 25th March due to continued influence of a coronal mas ejection, which arrived at Earth yesterday during daylight hours in the UK.
It's starting to look like the anticipated CME arrival has disappointed us! Brief minor storm period last night likely due to previous CME on 26th. ACTIVE spells currently and still a chance of some minor storm over the next day, but so far no sign of the expected fireworks!
