Abstract

The occurrence of Aurora Borealis in low latitudes, such as Bombay and Alibag, is a very rare phenomenon. Aurora Borealis was brilliantly seen in India during the severe magnetic storm of 4 February 1872. Conditions favourable for the observation of Aurora in future are given. Magnetic storms of range exceeding 600 "t in the horizontal intensity at Colaba and Alibag are listed with comments regarding the possibility of observation of Aurora.
