[BAA-ebulletin 00965] Aurora Alert

BAA electronic bulletin

Aurora Alert

A coronal hole has started to impact earth from 06:00UT 21st March 2017.

The field is unstable both positive and negative however the wind speed has increased to over 690kps.

It may only affect Northern Scotland but it could go further if the field swings negative. I have cloud cover on the Moray coast but it has been seen in Dundee. It is showing on cliff cams 1 & 3 http://www.shetland.org/60n/webcams/cliff-cam-3
