The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s Space Weather Prediction Center forecasted a “severe solar storm” that’s expected to hit Earth tonight, according to a release. These geomagnetic storms happen every so often, but as the Sun approaches the maximum of its 11-year solar cycle, the space weather is getting more intense.
When should I expect nothing to happen?
It won’t be completely nothing, it just won’t be noticable unless you have clear night skies, or work on pipelines or radio.
It wasn’t nearly as powerful as some CMEs can be, but we’re at the end of a solar cycle and this sort of thing starts up.
Expect the Aurora to be impressive the more north you are.
