⚠️ AURORA ALERT ⚠️
For those that aren't aware, there was a significant X4.5 #solar flare earlier today. The NOAA Space Weather Prediction Center is predicting the CME from that event will arrive on Monday, Sept 16 (UTC) as a G3 geomagnetic storm!
For people in North America, that means early Monday morning, possibly all the way into the evening.
For Europeans, late Monday morning into Tuesday.
For Aussies et al, early Tuesday morning?

Even the last G4 was barely visible where I was, but I think that had more to do with light pollution more than the intensity. And the timing of it was bad too
Yeah IDK if people in the thread are actually familiar with the scale.
I’m fairly far north and I’m considering turning off my g3 email alerts and just leaving the bigger ones since it’s generally a nothingburger.
