The warnings have been made by US-based NOAA and the UK Met Office
Weather experts have spotted three coronal holes in the surface of the sun
These are expected to produce solar flares, wind and geomagnetic storms
If the storms strike Earth, they could interfere with GPS systems and even the migrations of birds*
If you are planning on getting away for the weekend, you may want to take a paper map with you rather than relying on your sat-nav.*
After spotting three coronal holes on the sun, space weather experts have forecast a geomagnetic storm will strike Earth on Saturday and could lead to 'unsettled' activity on Sunday and Monday, too.
Geomagnetic storms can interfere with satellites, and this can have a knock-on effect to sat-navs, GPS chips in phones and even the ability to make calls.*

Experts are also warning it could even disrupt the migration habits of birds.*
America's National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) said a minor 'G1' geomagnetic storm watch has been issued for 2 April.*
