*MINOR GEOMAGNETIC STORM WATCH:*NOAA forecasters say that minorG1 
<https://spaceweather.com/glossary/g1.jpg>-class geomagnetic storms are 
possible late on*June 2nd*when a stream of solar wind is expected to hit 
Earth's magnetic field. The gaseous material is flowing froma pair of

atmosphere.*Aurora alerts:*SMS Text <https://spaceweatheralerts.com/>

*31 DAYS OF 100+ SUNSPOT NUMBER:*Solar Cycle 25 just hit another 
milestone. Every day last month (31 days in a row), thesunspot number 
<https://skyandtelescope.org/astronomy-news/how-astronomers-count-sunspots15022016513/>exceeded 
100. Astronomer Senol Sanli of Bursa, Turkey, used data from NASA's 
Solar Dynamics Observatory to display all of May's sunspots in a single 
image:

The last time this happened was in March 2014 when the sun also reeled 
off 31 consecutive days of 100+ sunspot number. That was near the 
maximum of Solar Cycle 24. Nine years later, Solar Cycle 25 is just 
getting started, and it is shaping up to be much stronger than its 
predecessor. Many months of "100+" may be in the offing.*Solar flare
