Science

I saw it for the first time in a similarly intense storm last year and it was remarkable. It seems like it might be a stormy night locally but this could be your best viewing chance in a while. They have northern and southern hemispheric projections on that Space Watch website.

edit: Hot damn, it just reached the highest threshold I've seen in a year:

ALERT: Geomagnetic K-index of 8, 9-

Threshold Reached: 2025 Jun 01 1346 UTC

Synoptic Period: 1200-1500 UTC

Active Warning: Yes

NOAA Scale: G4 - Severe

NOAA Space Weather Scale descriptions can be found at

www.swpc.noaa.gov/noaa-scales-explanation

Potential Impacts: Area of impact primarily poleward of 45 degrees Geomagnetic Latitude.

Induced Currents - Possible widespread voltage control problems and some protective systems may mistakenly trip out key assets from the power grid. Induced pipeline currents intensify.

Spacecraft - Systems may experience surface charging; increased drag on low earth orbit satellites, and tracking and orientation problems may occur.

Navigation - Satellite navigation (GPS) degraded or inoperable for hours.

Radio - HF (high frequency) radio propagation sporadic or blacked out.

Aurora - Aurora may be seen as low as Alabama and northern California.
