The Coronal mass ejections from the sun on the 23rd and 24th should reach the Earth on the 27th before midday UT. Watch for aurora during your local nights of 26th 27th or 28th, depending on where in the world you are located. The estimated planetary disturbance index may be 3 or 4.

Remember also:

The sun and the birds have returned to the North and the nights are filled with light and song. We usually terminate the forecast by May 1st when the nights in the auroral zone were too light, but with the internet, the forecast may be useful to the Antarctic, New Zealand, Tasmania, Northern UK, Southern Canada and the Northern US. For those in the latter areas, we have some advice on the forecast website for summer watching depending on your latitude in the Northern hemisphere.

We expect some Kp = 4 activity this summer with the increasingly active sun. Expect some auroral alerts.
