• 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…

  • Positive polarity CH HSS sparks geomagnetic storming

    A G2 – Moderate geomagnetic storm watch has been issued for September 11, 2018 due to the onset of positive polarity coronal hole high speed stream. Solar wind parameters over the past 24 hours were descriptive of the passage of Co-rotating Interaction Region (CIR)…
