- The storm originates from a coronal hole on the Sun that is emitting high-speed particles toward Earth.
- Peak activity is forecast between 22:30 on Saturday and 01:30 on Sunday, offering chances to view auroras across northern Germany.
- Experts warn that a southward orientation of the solar wind’s magnetic field could intensify impacts on power grids, satellites and radio communications.
