February 18: Activity expected to decrease. Nevertheless, lovely aurora activity is likely tonight but clouds will block the view in most or all locations. Check real time data regularly and watch for the aurora on-switch, Bz south under Bz value.
When the Bz value points south, aurora is active. Faster solar wind expands the auroral oval. Higher density leads to more colourful displays.
Record of measurements at Leirvogur for the past 6 hours.
