[quote:Simple27:MV8xMzgyOTUyXzg2MTczMzMwXzRDRDQ0OUE5] [b]SOLAR WIND STORM:[/b] A solar wind stream is buffeting Earth's magnetic field on March 3rd, blowing almost 600 km/s. This is causing minor G1-class geomagnetic storms. In Europe, auroras have been sighted as far south as Scotland: [imgur]https://imgur.com/MGdHXUb[/imgur] "I had to climb to get above the Aberdeenshire fog, and it was well worth the effort," says photographer Graeme Whipps, who made a must-see movie. "A double arc and brief display of rays danced above the fog on the northern horizon." The solar wind is flowing from a southern hole in the sun's atmosphere. Earth should remain inside the stream for another day, with a slight chance that wind speeds could top 700 km/s, the fastest in years. High-latitude sky watchers should remain alert for auroras on March 3-4.

There is now a 25% chance for X flares over the next 24hrs & 71% chance for M flares
