Two CMEs struck Earth's magnetic field on May 2nd. Individually, the impacts were minor, but together they sparked a G2-class geomagnetic storm with auroras as far south as Washington in the USA. Another CME is expected to sideswipe Earth's magnetic field on May 4th.

Earlier today, a rapidly developing and unstable sunspot exploded, producing an X1.6-class solar flare. The explosion hurled a CME into space, and forecast models suggest it has an Earth-directed component. The CME could spark minor to moderate geomagnetic storms when it arrives late on May 5th.

Everything taken together, here in Lincolnshire are more good things than man could have had the conscience to ask.
