Spill the Tea

Bruh, you are NOT gonna believe this. NOAA (aka the weather gurus) dropped a bomb: we're getting hit with some serious geomagnetic storms. Like, G1 (minor) and even a G3 (strong) kinda strong. G3 was hitting hard Tuesday, and G1 vibes are expected Wednesday and Thursday. This ain't just some basic storm, tho. It could cause radio blackouts all week, so low-key prepare for some tech fails.

But here's the real tea: these storms might just bring the Northern Lights to Metro Vancouver. Yes, for real! The weather's looking like a solid W (clear skies!), so the conditions are prime for aurora viewing.

UAF (University of Alaska Fairbanks) is saying auroral activity will be bussin' Wednesday night. They're predicting overhead displays in northern areas, but even we Vancouverites might catch a glimpse low on the horizon. They even got an aurora monitor map online. Environment Canada also got some cool cloud prediction tool online if you want to deep dive.

Vancouverite took jaw-dropping pics of the northern lights behind Science World. Snapped on May 29 and June 1, 2025, at Spanish Banks using a Nikon D850 DSLR camera and an iPhone 14 Pro Max.

Temperature-wise, it's gonna be chill too. Daytime highs are gonna be sweet, with lows not dipping too hard.

So, basically, keep your eyes peeled, charge your phones, and get ready to capture some fire content. Vancouver's about to have its main character moment!
