Tonight, a strong geomagnetic storm, classified as G3, will hit Earth, creating a rare opportunity for auroras to be visible in India, particularly in Ladakh. The storm, which originated from a solar eruption on June 6, 2026, is expected to peak between 11:30 PM IST and 2:30 AM IST. Auroras, typically seen near the polar regions, are caused by charged solar particles interacting with Earth's atmosphere, resulting in vibrant displays of light. Hanle, Ladakh, is the prime location for potential sightings, having previously recorded an aurora in January 2026. Other high-altitude areas like Nubra Valley and parts of Uttarakhand may also have chances to observe the phenomenon. However, major cities such as Delhi, Mumbai, and Bengaluru are likely to miss out due to light pollution and unfavorable weather conditions. For those in Ladakh, facing north after midnight with a long-exposure camera is recommended for the best viewing experience. The storm's intensity could allow for brief periods of even stronger displays, making tonight a unique event for sky watchers in India.
