Overview
- A strong geomagnetic storm early on November 12 produced auroras over Spain.
- The Calar Alto Observatory webcam detected the glow around 04:00 local time, and MeteoIberia confirmed visibility from roughly 37° latitude in the south.
- MeteoIberia reported that the aurora was visible across much of Europe and North America.
- Scientists point to the 2025 solar maximum as a key factor increasing the likelihood of intense storms and low‑latitude auroras.
- Observers are advised to seek dark, clear skies with a north to northeast view, favor higher elevations away from light pollution, and monitor official geomagnetic alerts.
