Geomagnetic Disturbance Alert

 


11 May 2023

British Geological Survey

An increase in geomagnetic activity is expected over the next 24 hours due to another incoming Coronal Mass Ejection (CME) observed on 9th May.

Assuming clear, dark skies, there is a chance of seeing the aurora Thursday UT night. Those in Scotland, northern England, and Northern Ireland have a better chance if the weather is favorable.
