Increased Solar Activity: The Sun is currently in an active phase of its 11-year cycle, producing more solar flares and coronal mass ejections that fuel aurora displays.
Solar Maximum: We are approaching the peak of the solar cycle, known as the solar maximum, which increases the frequency and intensity of auroras.
Better Technology: Advances in satellite and space weather technology have improved our ability to detect and track auroral activity.
Climate Effects: Changes in atmospheric conditions and shifts in the Earth’s magnetic field may be contributing to more visible auroras in certain regions.
Global Warming: Some studies suggest that warming temperatures in polar regions might influence aurora visibility and frequency.
Increased Awareness: Social media and global connectivity have made it easier to share aurora sightings, making it seem like there are more displays.
