• G2 – Moderate geomagnetic storm levels forecast as two more CMEs approach Earth

    Solar wind parameters in 24 hours to 00:30 UTC on April 17, 2024, continued to be enhanced by a passing coronal mass ejection (CME) which impacted Earth around 17:25 UTC on April 15 (launched from the Sun on April 12). Two more CMEs, produced on April 14 and 15, are expected to make a combined impact at around 00:00 UTC on April 18.

  • Geomagnetic storm reaches G3 – Strong level after dual CME impact

    A G3 – Strong geomagnetic storming was observed on Sunday, November 5, 2023, as a result of the impact of two successive coronal mass ejections (CMEs) from the Sun. The storm produced auroras extending into the lower latitudes such as Colorado and Texas in the United States and Greece in Europe, which is unusual for such regions. Many people across both hemispheres have also recorded and captured rare red aurora.

  • Rare red auroras seen as far south as France

    The Coronal Mass Ejection (CME) that was launched on September 22, 2023, hit Earth’s magnetic field on September 24 at 20:43 UTC, sparking a moderate G2 – Moderate geomagnetic storm and rare red auroras. Initially detected in Canada where magnetometer readings spiked by 129 nT, the event later became visible across Europe, reaching as far south as France.
