Geomagnetic Storm of June 29, 2024: Potential for Northern Lights in Unusual Regions

Broke On: Friday, 28 June 2024 A minor geommagnetic storm reached Earth on June 29, 2024, potentially causing northern lights to be visible in regions beyond the polar areas such as New Hampshire, Ohio, and Pennsylvania. The Space Weather Prediction Center reported a coronal mass ejection from the sun caused this event. While auroras are not guaranteed due to magnetic field orientations, they could also lead to power outages and communication disruptions.

Upcoming Solar Storm: Anticipated Auroras from Active Region 3697

Broke On: Friday, 31 May 2024 In late May 2024, powerful solar storms and auroras resulted from Active Region 3664, with Earth expected to face another approach from this active region in June. This interaction could lead to minor to moderate geomagnetic storming and auroral displays. The sunspot group produced X-class solar flares and coronal mass ejections (CMEs), causing auroras as far south as Jamaica, Mexico, India, South Africa, and Australia during its previous pass. The Space Weather Prediction Center closely monitors Active Region 3697 as it enters Earth's view again.
