• Numerous M-class flares and CMEs off the northwestern limb

    Solar activity reached moderate levels today when Region 2290 (N22W84, Hsx/Alpha) produced a pair of M1 (R1-Minor) flares at 06:39 (M1.0) and 09:48 UTC (M1.1). This region also produced numerous low and mid-level C-class flares over the last 24 hours.Numerous Coronal Ma

  • G1-Minor geomagnetic storm in progress

    A G1-Minor geomagnetic storm is currently in progress due to the influence of a recurrent negative polarity coronal hole high speed stream (CH HSS). Geomagnetic K-index of 5 (G1) threshold was reached at 02:31 UTC on February 24, 2015. Area of impact is primarily polewa

  • Southern crown coronal hole stirring up geomagnetic storms

    Earth is currently under the influence of a high speed solar wind speed, originating in negative polarity southern crown coronal hole, which is causing periods of geomagnetic storming on our planet.Solar wind readings indicated a co-rotating interaction region (CIR) whi

  • Unanticipated CME hit causes G3 – Strong geomagnetic storm

    Our planet is still under the influence of coronal hole high speed solar wind speed (CH HSS) which is fueling geomagnetic storming around the poles. Additionally, an unanticipated Coronal Mass Ejection (CME) passed the ACE spacecraft and Earth around 05:30 UTC today

  • Earth under the influence of high speed solar wind stream

    Earth is currently under the influence of a high speed solar wind stream originating in large southern coronal hole. Although the bulk of this stream is headed south of our planet, we have already experienced severe geomagnetic storm periods at high latitudes.Geomagneti

  • G1 (Minor) geomagnetic storm underway

    Earth is currently under the influence of a coronal hole high speed solar wind stream (CH HSS) which is causing geomagnetic storming around the poles.K-index of 5 (G1-Minor) threshold was reached at 17:18 UTC today. Area of impact is primarily poleward of 60 degrees Geo

  • Minor geomagnetic storm in progress, weak negative CH HSS expected

    According to the SWPC, the ACE satellite observed a pair of discontinuities in the solar wind field during the past 24 hours. The first discontinuity at 02:35 UTC on December 21 was weak and possibly indicated the arrival of a glancing blow from the December 17th Corona

  • G1 (Minor) geomagnetic storm in progress

    NOAA/SWPC issued G1 (Minor) geomagnetic storm alert early on December 7 due to the high speed solar wind stream originating from a geoeffective coronal hole in the Sun's southern hemisphere. Geomagnetic K-index of 5 (G1 – Minor) threshold was reached at 01:24 UTC to
