numerama.com (French)

There is a chance of seeing the aurora borealis in France on Sunday evening, June 1st, 2025, due to a solar flare. The solar ejection has already caused auroras in the United States and New Zealand. A solar eruption on Saturday, May 31st, sent a coronal mass ejection towards Earth, increasing the likelihood of visible auroras in France. The eruption was classified as M8.2 and arrived earlier than predicted, triggering a G4 geomagnetic storm. The possibility of seeing the Northern Lights in France remains uncertain, with the northwest region potentially having the best viewing conditions. Clear skies are essential for visibility, and photography can reveal colors not visible to the naked eye.
