G1 - Minor geomagnetic storm

Observed Kp: 5
Threshold reached: 00:01 UTC

Current data suggests there is a slight possibility for aurora to appear at the following high latitude regions in the near future

Nuuk
Tórshavn
Oulu, Rovaniemi, Sodankylä
Reykjavik
Kiruna, Luleå
The strength of the interplanetary magnetic field is moderate (12.77nT), the direction is slightly South (-4.83nT).
The Disturbance Storm Time index predicts moderate storm conditions right now (-51nT)
