An active region on the Sun has produced at least three Earth-directed coronal mass ejections (CMEs) which lifted off on the 23rd May. Based on the estimated speed, we anticipate that they will become geoeffective on the night of the 25th of May.
The geomagnetic field is expected to be disturbed as a result of the arrival of the CMEs and may reach minor to moderate STORM levels, if we experience any periods of southward IMF during the following days.
Assuming clear, dark skies, there is a chance of seeing the aurora on the early morning of the 26th of May. Those in Scotland, northern England and Northern Ireland have the better chance if the weather is favourable.
