• Strong geomagnetic storms in progress

    A G3 – Strong geomagnetic storm conditions were observed beginning 05:59 UTC on May 8, 2016. G2 – Moderate to G3 – Strong geomagnetic storm conditions are expected through the rest of the day and possibly into May 9 and 10. This activity is caused by a recurrent,…

  • G2 – Moderate geomagnetic storm

    Enhanced solar wind conditions have fueled elevated geomagnetic field activity early May 2, 2016. Geomagnetic storms reaching G2 – Moderate levels have been observed. Geomagnetic K-index of 5 (G1 – Minor geomagnetic storm) threshold was first reached at 00:37 UTC on…

  • Geomagnetic storm in progress

    A geomagnetic storm reaching G1 – Minor levels is currently in progress as Earth enters a stream of positive polarity high-speed solar wind. Geomagnetic K-index of 5 (G1 – Minor geomagnetic storm) threshold was reached at 20:40 UTC on April 7: Space Weather Message…

  • Recurrent CH HSS causing geomagnetic storming on Earth

    Our planet is passing through a stream of fast-moving, negative polarity solar wind. Geomagnetic storming reached G1 – Minor levels at 17:24 UTC. A G2 – Moderate warning is in effect for the rest of the UTC day. This is a recurrent CH HSS, responsible for G3 -…

  • A new round of geomagnetic storming sparked

    A new round of geomagnetic storming is in progress on March 15, 2016. Solar wind parameters are enhanced since late March 14 due to the onset of a negative polarity coronal hole high speed stream (CH HSS) and are expected to remain like that through March 16….

  • G2 – Moderate geomagnetic storm in progress

    After strong G3 geomagnetic storm on March 6 and 7, solar wind parameters increased again around 04:00 UTC on March 11. The cause is most likely a Coronal Mass Ejection (CME) from March 6. Interplanetary magnetic field (IMF) total field (Bt) valuese steadly…

  • Negative polarity CH HSS causes geomagnetic storming on Earth

    A negative polarity, coronal hole high speed stream (CH HSS) became geoeffective early March 6, 2016, causing an increase in solar wind speeds and an enhanced interplanetary magnetic field. A G1 – Minor geomagnetic storm began at 17:28 UTC, increased to G2 -…

  • Coronal hole causes G1 – Minor geomagnetic storm

    A geomagnetic storm reaching G1 – Minor levels is currently in progress due to the arrival of the co-rotating interaction region (CIR) associated with coronal hole 55. The proton flux might reach S1 – Minor levels in the period between February 16 and 18 due to the…

  • CME hits Earth, G3 Strong geomagnetic storming expected

    The December 28th coronal mass ejection (CME) produced by the long duration M1.8 solar flare passed the ACE spacecraft at 00:02 UTC on December 31 and reached our planet at 00:51 UTC. Geomagnetic K-index of 4 threshold was reached at 01:05 UTC. The impact is…
