Elevated geomagnetic conditions

Geomagnetic conditions continue to be elevated as we remain under the influence of coronal hole effects. The direction of the IMF is mostly south which caused enough geomagnetic instability for the Kp-index to reach active levels (Kp4) over the past 24 hours. Aurora filled the skies over many high latitude locations during local night time. Coronal hole effects continue today and more aurora is possible at high latitude locations.
