Title: Kelling - possible auroral alert to those going
Post by: Carole on Sep 27, 2016, 11:40:05
BIG CORONAL HOLE TURNS TOWARD EARTH: A large coronal hole is turning toward Earth, and it is spewing a stream of high-speed solar wind. NOAA forecasters expect the stream to reach our planet on Sept. 28-29 with a 50% chance of G1-class geomagnetic storms when it arrives. Stay tuned to Spaceweather.com for the onset of auroras.

Might not come down as far as Kelling, might be cloudy, but as I saw Aurora there a few years ago, you never know.
