[gse-aa] Auroral Alert

[Charles Deehr]

Those of you who live in southern Canada and northern USA where there is
still enough darkness around midnight, might have some auroral displays
between the 23rd  and the 28th of May. This would also apply to Tasmania,
southern New Zealand and Antarctica where there is no problem with daylight
near midnight during this period.

Kp has reached 6 during some isolated periods in the last two days and there
has been some weak solar activity from the last sunspot regions of solar
cycle 24. These disturbances will reach earth during the next two days and
may combine with some high speed streams to enhance auroral activity.
