AURORA SEASON: It's September, and that means aurora season is underway. For reasons not fully understood, the weeks around the autumnal equinox (Sept. 23) produce more geomagnetic storms than any other time of year. Even the mildest solar wind stream brushing against Earth can ignite auroras A minor solar wind stream flowing from the indicated coronal hole should reach Earth on or about Sept. 14th.

From what I know about current positions, it could be a catalyst for a gigantic scorch up or a gigantic melt down.
