• Recurrent CH HSS sparks G1 geomagnetic storming

    Earth is under the influence of a recurrent, negative polarity coronal hole high speed stream (CH HSS) today which is causing G1 – Minor geomagnetic storming. Solar wind speed increased to 548 km/s at 08:08 UTC while total field reached a maximum of 16 nT at 07:16…

  • G2 – Moderate geomagnetic storm level reached

    A G2 – Moderate geomagnetic storm conditions were reached at 04:33 UTC on April 20, 2017. This activity is a result of continued coronal hole effects, the first of two expected to affect our planet this week. The geomagnetic field reached G1 – Minor levels during…

  • Geomagnetic storms reaching G1 level expected

    Earth is under the influence of a recurrent, positive polarity coronal hole high speed stream (CH HSS). A G1 – Minor geomagnetic storm began at 05:59 UTC today. Solar wind parameters, as measured by the DSCOVR spacecraft, continued at mostly nominal levels over the…

  • G1 – Minor geomagnetic storm in progress

    A G1 – Minor geomagnetic storm is in progress as of 08:14 UTC on April 4, 2017, due to Earth's proximity to the heliospheric current sheet (HCS) and weak influences of the southern polar, negative coronal hole high speed stream (CH HSS). Geomagnetic K-index of 5…

  • CH HSS sparks geomagnetic storming, G2 warning issued

    Earth is under the influence of a positive polarity coronal hole high speed stream (CH HSS) which is causing geomagnetic storming. G1 – Minor geomagnetic storm threshold was first reached at 16:12 UTC on March 21, 2017. A G2 – Moderate geomagnetic storm warning was…

  • Earth under the influence of polar-connected CH HSS

    A negative polarity, polar-connected coronal hole high speed stream (CH HSS) is affecting Earth for the second day in a row, sparking geomagnetic storms reaching G2 Moderate levels. Over the past 24 hours, the solar wind environment was elevated due to the passage…

  • Negative polarity CH HSS sparks G1 geomagnetic storm

    Earth is under the influence of a recurrent, polar-connected coronal hole which has sparked G1 (Minor) geomagnetic storming today. Unsettled to active conditions, with G1 storming likely, are expected to continue through March 2. Geomagnetic K-index of 5 (G1 – Minor…

  • CH HSS sparks geomagnetic storm reaching G1 levels

    Our planet is under the influence of a recurrent, positive polarity coronal hole high speed stream since around 20:48 UTC on February 23. This is causing G1 geomagnetic storming. Geomagnetic K-index of 5 (G1 – Minor geomagnetic storm) threshold was first reached at…
