Technically it's not weather, but ...

WASHINGTON – A severe solar storm slammed Earth on Monday afternoon,
increasing the chances of fluctuations in the power grid and GPS.
It also pushes shimmering polar auroras to places where more people can possibly see them.

Federal forecasters said the Northern Lights may be able to be seen
Tuesday night as far south as Iowa or Pennsylvania.
I'm wondering if the Aussie's will be able to participate too

ETA: It looks as if Australia is too far north, but Tasmania and the
South Island of New Zealand might have their own display.
