US EditionOntario got a stellar northern lights show last May. What does the Victoria Day long weekend have in store?
- On May 15, 2025, the NOAA Space Weather Prediction Center issued a 48-hour watch for a magnetic storm, suggesting that viewers in Ontario might witness the Northern Lights over the Victoria Day weekend.
- This alert is issued in response to a solar event involving a burst of charged particles or a rapid solar wind flow moving toward Earth, though the exact timing and intensity of any resulting auroras can be uncertain and vary widely.
- The auroral displays, ranging from faint green glows to multicolored full-sky shows, may cause minor satellite impacts and weak power grid fluctuations according to NOAA forecasts.
- NOAA notes uncertainties, stating that sometimes CMEs produce smaller or no visible displays, and auroras could occur during daytime when they are not visible locally.
- If the aurora appears as predicted, viewers in northern Ontario might witness a rare natural spectacle, although the event's occurrence and visibility remain uncertain.
