Geomagnetic Disturbance Alert

18/19 December 2015

There is an increased chance of viewing the aurora over the weekend due to the effects of a pair of Earth-directed Coronal Mass Ejections.

Monitor current geomagnetic conditions using the links below and if activity increases and the sky is clear where you are (particularly at high latitudes), pop outside and have a look to the North.
