SUBJ: IPS AURORA WATCH
ISSUED AT 0223 UT ON 07 Jun 2013 BY IPS RADIO AND SPACE SERVICES
FROM THE AUSTRALIAN SPACE FORECAST CENTRE

A Coronal Mass Ejection has arrived at Earth accompanied by a magnetic
field with a favourable alignment for generating Auroral activity.
These solar wind conditions may continue for the next 24-48 hours.
This may result in visible auroras during local nighttime hours,
though likely confined to higher latitude regions (e.g. Tasmania).
Aurora alerts will follow should favourable space weather activity
eventuate.
