With no active sunspots currently facing the earth on sun, the coronal mass ejections and solar flares will remain quiet resulting in mostly stable earths magnetic field. a large coronal hole as shown in this x ray image of the sun will now be facing the earth resulting in release of tremendous solar wind which contains charged particles and plasma from the sun,s atmosphere. Since this will be facing the earth, there will be increase in the solar wind and can cause a glancing blow to earth magnetic field and people living in high latitude region will get to see active auroras in the sky due to this phenomena. The coronal holes contain open magnetic field which enables to intensify the present solar wind. I estimate it to reach before 24th aug. So auroras from 22nd only
