Geomagnetic Disturbance Alert

Assuming clear dark skies, there is an increased chance of seeing the aurora on 31^st March and April 1^st. In the UK, those in Scotland, northern England and Northern Ireland may have the best opportunities.

This is due to the expected disturbance in the Earth’s magnetic environment as a result of two Earth-directed Coronal Mass Ejections or CMEs. Both CMEs are associated with M-class flares, with the first lifting from the Sun at around 11:30UT on 28^th March and the second following approximately 8 hours later, at 19:20UT. These CMEs are expected to arrive at Earth early on 31^st March, causing significant disturbances to the geomagnetic field.
