Stackplots
This plot shows several magnetometers that are located in Norway, Denmark and Finland, ranked according to their latitude. When a geomagnetic disturbance starts the most northern magnetometers will respond and as the disturbance strengthens the lower magnetometers will respond as well. Once the stations Dombås (DOB) and Solund (SOL) react, there will be a chance for the European middle latitudes to see aurora low at the northern horizon.

Coronal holes
Coronal holes are areas on the Sun where fast solar wind is able to escape into space. These resulting high speed solar wind streams sometimes have the potential to produce minor to moderate geomagnetic storms. The image above can be used to spot any coronal holes facing our planet right now.
Solar Flares
A solar flare is an explosion on the surface of our Sun which occurs when magnetic field lines from sunspots tangle and erupt. Strong solar flares can launch clouds of solar plasma (coronal mass ejections) into space which cause enhanced auroral displays if aimed at our planet. Above you will find an image of the Sun right now which can be used to pinpoint the location of an ongoing solar flare.
