Coronal hole faces Earth

A coronal hole is facing our planet today which is sending a high speed solar wind stream towards us which could cause enhanced geomagnetic conditions (and thus aurora!) in the days ahead.

This coronal hole is located on the Sun's northern hemisphere but it is of a decent size strechting close to the solar equator. Solar wind flowing from this coronal hole could start to influence the geomagnetic conditions on our planet likely on Saturday, 8 March. Expect enhanced geomagnetic conditions at high latitude locations when the stream arrives.
