CME produced by X8.1 flare forecast to reach Earth on February 5, causing G1 geomagnetic storm
A coronal mass ejection (CME) associated with an X8.1 solar flare from Region 4366 at 23:57 UTC on February 1 is forecast to glance Earth late on February 5, 2026. The impact is expected to produce G1 – Minor geomagnetic storm conditions and possible auroral activity poleward of 60 degrees Geomagnetic Latitude. This was the third-strongest solar flare of Solar Cycle 25.
