Coronal Holes (April 24th 2013)

SpaceWeatherLive Report

 

---

 

We are currently seeing the arrival of a solar wind stream flowing from two coronal holes. The Bz has been tilting sharply south at times and the Bt has been gaining in strength. This could lead to increased geomagnetic activity. High latitude sky watchers should be alert for auroras when skies are dark. For more information on what exactly is a coronal hole please view this help topic.
