    June 21, 2024

    You know me, always interested in science and weather-related articles are no exception. The following is from Spaceweather.com, and I learned something new. THE MAY 10TH SUPERSTORM ELECTRIFIED EARTH'S ATMOSPHERE: The geomagnetic superstorm of May 10, 2024, did more than spark widespread auroras. New data show that it also electrified Earth's atmosphere. Fair weather electric fields jumped as much as 15% for four days after the storm.

    May 2024 Aurora

    May 11, 2024

    Last night's historic geomagnetic storm produced auroras as far south as the Florida Keys and Puerto Rico. The storm is subsiding, but it's not over. At least one more significant CME is on the way, and it could push the storm back to G4/G5 levels. For more info consult Spaceweather.com - dates 5-10 and 5-11- 2024.
