A geomagnetic storm category G2 is predicted to occur on October 9. This is exciting news for sky-watchers, as a G2 storm can lead to spectacular aurora displays at lower latitudes. The area of impact is expected to be primarily poleward of 55 degrees Geomagnetic Latitude, so observers in northern US and Canadian regions may want to look out for potential aurora sightings on October 9.
