Officials issued a Level 3 geomagnetic storm warning on Monday, which means solar activity could disrupt GPS signals, radio communications, and electrical systems, while also making auroras visible much farther south than usual. The powerful storm is also expected to create stunning northern lights across 13 US states on Monday and Tuesday. The auroras may be visible in Washington, northern Idaho, Montana, northeast Wyoming, North Dakota, South Dakota, Minnesota, Wisconsin, Michigan, New York, Vermont, New Hampshire, and Maine. The best time to catch the colorful display is between 10pm and 2am local time. The stunning lights will also be visible across northern UK and Europe. In the UK, aurora activity will 'become progressively confined to Northern Ireland and Scotland,' the Met Office said.
