Geomagnetic Alert 26-27 April
The solar wind flowing from a large coronal hole has intensified and the IPS has
issued a geomagnetic alert. Minor storms are predicted for high latitudes
(Tasmania, Southern New Zealand, Australian Antarctic Territories) tonight and
unsettled conditions the day after (Friday 27th and Saturday 27th). Aurora can
strike any time, although the best time to look to the south around local
midnight.
However, the bright, just past full moon will significantly interfere with seeing any aurora, and dark sky sites have the best chance of seeing anything. IPS notice below.
