“The Sun’s activity has picked up this week due to a set of two coronal holes that have sent us fast solar wind and some active regions that are firing off some mini-solar storms. Aurora has been seen all over the world clear down to Northumberland in the UK, and down to Maine, Wisconsin, and Washington, USA. We’ve also see aurora australis in Tasmania and New Zealand. (I’ll show gorgeous shots of the aurora in my next forecast). Amateur radio and GPS issues due to the current storm could last until Saturday. See how this storm is unfolding and what else the Sun has in store this week.”
