Geophysical Activity Forecast: The geomagnetic field is expected to be unsettled with isolated active conditions, and a slight chance for isolated minor storming for the next three days (07-09 February). The increase in activity is expected due to CME activity from 02-03 February and a recurrent coronal hole high speed stream.
Keep an eye on that new active region!!

Yes, i've been keeping an eye on this too. The sun certainly is waking up quite quickly atm... This time next week i'm in Iceland for the week on my hollibops, and I can guarantee every clear dark sky moment I will be looking out for auroras!

70% chance of M class and 15% chance of X class flares according to the latest NOAA forecasts, and the look of a further sunspot/2 sunspots to rotate onto the earthside of the sun over the next few days; a lot more active now.

I bet you will see an aurora Mark with 100% confidence that far north, I'm that confident that I'm now just expecting you to be coming back with images for us to drool over , keep those batteries charged and best of luck!

No activity so far, the full halo CME from Feb 7th is now expected to arrive late on Feb 11th. Keep an eye out. Thread title changed to accomodate new intel.
