In May, powerful solar storms delivered stunning auroras to latitudes that rarely experience them. Light shows were seen as far south as Florida and Texas, while more northerly areas of the United States were treated to spectacular displays. But Solar Cycle 25, the current surge in the sun’s storm activity, isn’t set to peak until summer of 2025, meaning we may well see more appearances of the northern lights in places not used to seeing them.
