NOAA forecasts severe geomagnetic storm, potential for widespread aurora

By PulseAugur Editorial · [2 sources] ·

NOAA has upgraded its forecast for geomagnetic storms, predicting a "severe" event on Thursday, June 4, and continuing into Friday, June 5. Multiple coronal mass ejections from the sun are expected to impact Earth's magnetic field, potentially making the aurora visible in up to 23 U.S. states. While exact timings are difficult to predict, the Kp index is expected to reach G3 (Strong) levels, with a chance of isolated G4 (Severe) conditions. AI
