This geomagnetic storm could cause voltage irregularities and false alarms on some protection devices, NOAA warns. It also could cause high frequency radio blackouts and loss of radio contact on the sunlit side of the earth.
The most visible effect from the impending geomagnetic storm is it will likely supercharge the aurora borealis, making it visible across large parts of the US and Europe.
In Europe, the forecast shows, weather permitting, the aurora borealis may be visible overhead from across Norway, Sweden and Finland, and even as far south as Scotland and St. Petersburg, Russia.
It may be visible on the horizon as far south as Dublin, Ireland and Hamburg, Germany.
The aurora australis, or the Southern Lights, will see similar effects.
The forecast shows from Melbourne, Australia to Christchurch, New Zealand, it may be visible on the horizon.
