G1–G2 (Minor–Moderate) geomagnetic storms are likely on October 9, 2026, as a coronal mass ejection (CME) associated with an M1.4 flare on October 6, 2026 reaches Earth. The strongest activity is forecast during the 18:00–21:00 UTC period today, with G2 conditions also forecast for the following three-hour interval, ending at 00:00 UTC on October 10.
A G2 – Moderate geomagnetic storm on October 18, 2025, produced an extremely bright red SAR arc visible from the United States to northern Europe. The event showed an unusually efficient release of energy from Earth’s ring current system, challenging current understanding of how the planet’s magnetic field interacts with the atmosphere.
A coronal mass ejection (CME) produced by the August 30, 2025, long-duration M2.7 solar flare impacted Earth at 21:01 UTC on September 1, producing G1 – Minor to G2 – Moderate geomagnetic storm conditions.
Elevated geomagnetic activity was recorded on Earth on June 13, 2025, due to the waning effects of a negative polarity coronal hole high-speed stream and possible transient effects.
A coronal mass ejection produced by a filament eruption on April 13 impacted Earth’s magnetic field at 16:37 UTC on April 15, sparking a G2 – Moderate geomagnetic storm. A G3 – Strong geomagnetic storm watch is in effect for April 16 due to the anticipated arrival of additional CMEs.
Earth is currently experiencing heightened solar wind conditions and geomagnetic storming due to the passage of a co-rotating interaction region (CIR) ahead of a high-speed stream from a large coronal hole in the southern hemisphere.
A major solar flare measuring X1.3 erupted from an unnumbered active region on the Sun’s SE limb at 09:43 UTC on Thursday, September 12, 2024. The event started at 09:31 and ended at 09:51 UTC.
A strong positive polarity coronal hole high speed stream (CH HSS) sparked a G2 – Moderate geomagnetic storm on September 4, 2022. G1-Minor storms continued into September 5. An additional enhancement is possible by midday today due to the arrival of CME produced on September 2.
Earth is under the influence of multiple positive polarity coronal hole high speed solar streams (CH HSS), triggering G2 – Moderate geomagnetic storming.
A coronal mass ejection (CME) produced by a large filament eruption at 05:21 UTC on April 11, 2022 reached Earth around midnight UTC on April 14, sparking G2 – Moderate geomagnetic storm.
