"Potential Impact of Geomagnetic Storm on Radio Communications and Northern Lights Viewing"

TL;DR Summary
A geomagnetic storm caused by a coronal mass ejection from the Sun is expected to disrupt radio communications and create stunning auroras, with potential impacts on high-frequency radio transmissions and satellite operations. The storm, predicted to last through Monday, is part of the sun's active solar maximum cycle, occurring approximately every 11 years. While there may be some disruptions, authorities assure that most systems can handle the induced current and recommend enjoying the northern lights if clear skies are present at higher latitudes.
