Hello!
I am sure you will have seen by now, but if not, Monday the Sun produced a X1.5 solar flare with a rather large and quick CME. Sadly, the sun spot group that produced this wasn't directly facing earth but its looking likely that we will be getting a glancing blow, possibly arriving early this evening. G2 storms with the possibility of G3 storms have been forecast so theres once again chance for some aurora at mid latitudes... providing we dont get clouded out.... again! EPAM (which is used to measure solar wind parameters, amongst other things, is showing a slight rise currently so we could well be seeing the tease of an arrival. We will update further when we know more :D
