Space Weather News for July 16, 2002
http://www.spaceweather.com
A remarkable sunspot is crossing the face of the Sun. The large active
region stretches 15 Earth-diameters from end-to-end and poses a threat for
powerful flares. Indeed, on July 15th, twisted magnetic fields above the
spot erupted. The explosion sparked an X-class solar flare and hurled a
coronal mass ejection into space. As a result, sky watchers on Earth
might spot auroras on Tuesday or Wednesday night. Visit spaceweather.com
for more information and updates.

Look out for the possibility of enhanced daytime paths to Europe on the
21/22nd.
I doubt whether the effect will be present on Saturday unless the CME is
running very quickly.
