   If there's a sudden change in Earth's magnetic field it can signify the   
   arrival of charged particles which can also cause auroras. Spaceweather   
   does something similar in the US, there may be others.   
      
   I hadn't heard of Hugo, reducing web page bloat is a good idea, but if   
   it increases JavaScript dependency (the AuroraWatch front page graphics   
   and main menu don't work without it) it rather defeats the purpose.
