- A moderate G2 geomagnetic storm started overnight on June 12-13, 2025, affecting Earth's magnetic field and producing visible northern lights across parts of the U.S.
- The storm developed from a co-rotating interaction region driven by a large solar coronal hole located in the Sun’s southern hemisphere, which is currently oriented toward Earth during the solar maximum phase.
- NOAA has predicted that the aurora could be visible as far south as 18 states, with the best viewing opportunities occurring late at night through the early morning hours, provided the skies remain clear and free of light pollution.
