“Fast solar wind bombards Earth this week from a large coronal hole gracing much of the Sun’s face. We have already reached storm conditions from the early blast of this wind, with aurora dipping down into mid-latitudes. We will likely reach active conditions again sporadically throughout this week. Aurora photographers should stay on their toes, especially at high-latitudes. Amateur radio operators should enjoy auroral propagation modes, especially at night, and GPS users should enjoy clear signals away from the aurora. On top of this storm, the Sun gives us a momentary glimpse at an active region that looks to be coming from the new solar cycle. As cycles typically overlap each other by a few years, this is not uncommon”
