In the United States, the weather monitoring agency has announced that the northern lights could be visible in the northern United States and Canada, as strong geomagnetic storms are expected. These could also light up the skies over Germany, especially in the north and along the coasts, during the night of 5 to 6 June.
With hardly any cloud cover forecast for Saturday night, the chances of catching a glimpse of the impressive aurora borealis are good.
The US National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) has issued a warning of a G3 (strong) geomagnetic storm. Individual phases could even reach G4 (severe) level. As a result, the aurora should be visible in a total of 23 US states in the Northeast, Midwest and West, the Washington Times reports.
The last time spectacular northern lights were visible over Germany was in January.
