Active Auroras Possible Dec. 12–14 Amid Solar Wind Surges
US · Published Dec 12, 2025
Active auroras are possible from December 12–14 due to unsettled space weather.
Minor G1 storms are expected, potentially enhancing the visibility of the northern lights in high-latitude regions.
A southward-tilting Bz could strengthen conditions, leading to more vibrant aurora displays.
Earth moving through unsettled space weather conditions
Active auroras are possible from December 12–14 as Earth moves through unsettled space weather. The NOAA and the U.K. Met Office expect lingering solar wind disturbances and a fast solar wind stream from a coronal hole to bring periods of geomagnetic activity, including the chance of minor G1 storms late December 12 into December 13. If conditions strengthen — especially with a southward-tilting Bz — auroras may be visible across high-latitude regions including Alaska, northern Canada, Iceland, and Scandinavia.
