A geomagnetic storm category G1 is predicted to occur on October 2. This is exciting news for sky-watchers who enjoy viewing the aurora, as a G1 storm can bring increased auroral activity to areas near the poles. Sky-watchers in areas poleward of 60 degrees Geomagnetic Latitude may want to look out for potential aurora sightings on October 2.
