A high speed solar wind stream is expected to arrive at Earth during
the next 12-24 hours. This may lead to unsettled to active geomagnetic

auroras will be visible very low on the southern horizon from Southern
Tasmania during local nighttime hours. Aurora alerts will follow
should favourable space weather activity eventuate.
