Introduction

The sun had a big event. This can change the weather and the sky in some places.

Main Body

On May 10, the sun sent out a lot of energy. This stopped some radios from working in Africa and over the ocean. Ships and planes had problems with their radios. On May 13 and May 15, this energy will hit Earth. People in northern Scotland and the northern US may see beautiful lights in the sky. These are called auroras. From May 15 to May 24, the weather will be bad. There will be rain and cold winds. After May 25, the weather will be dry and sunny.

Conclusion

People may see lights in the sky. The weather is bad now, but it will be better in late May.
