• CME hits Earth sparking G2 – Moderate geomagnetic storm

    A coronal mass ejection (CME) produced by the long-duration C2 solar flare on March 10/11, 2022, hit Earth early March 13, sparking G2 – Moderate geomagnetic storming. Disturbed conditions are expected to continue into March 14 and 15. The CME started around 18:00…

  • G2 – Moderate geomagnetic storm watch in effect

    A G2 – Moderate geomagnetic storm watch is in effect for February 2, 2022, after a long-duration M1.1 solar flare produced an asymmetric, full-halo coronal mass ejection (CME) at 23:32 UTC on January 29. The CME is expected to reach Earth late February 1 or early…

  • CH HSS sparks G2 – Moderate geomagnetic storm

    Our planet entered a stream of fast-moving solar wind on January 18, 2022, sparking G2 – Moderate geomagnetic storm. A slightly enhanced solar wind environment is anticipated today as CH HSS effects taper, followed by a minor enhancement due to glancing blow effects…

  • CME impacts Earth, sparking G3 – Strong geomagnetic storm

    A coronal mass ejection (CME) produced by a filament eruption around 10:00 UTC on May 9, 2021, has reached Earth at 06:43 UTC on May 12. G3 – Moderate geomagnetic storm levels were observed at 12:59 UTC. The CME arrived at the DSCOVR spacecraft at 05:47 UTC. Solar…

  • Negative polarity CH HSS sparks G2 – Moderate geomagnetic storm

    Earth is under the influence of a negative polarity coronal hole high speed stream (CH HSS) on March 1, 2021, sparking G1 – Minor and G2 – Moderate geomagnetic storming. Solar wind speed started increasing late February 28, from 369 km/s at 22:00 UTC to 521 km/s at…

  • G2 – Moderate Geomagnetic Storm Watch in effect

    The solar wind environment is expected to become enhanced and disturbed later on September 27, 2019 (UTC). G1 – Minor Geomagnetic Storm Watch is in effect for September 27, G2 – Moderate for September 28. Quiet to unsettled geomagnetic field conditions are expected…

  • 5 Earth-directed CMEs, G3 – Strong geomagnetic storm

    A several degree long solar filament south of the Region 2741 disappeared by approximately 15:14 UTC on May 13, 2019. Initial analysis suggests an Earth-directed component is likely with this Coronal Mass Ejection (CME). This is the fifth Earth-directed CME since…

  • CH HSS sparks G2 – Moderate geomagnetic storm

    Our planet is under the influence of a positive polarity Coronal Hole High Speed Stream (CH HSS) over the past 24 hours. Geomagnetic storms reaching G2 – Moderate levels were registered November 5. Solar wind parameters reflected the passage of a Solar Sector…
