• G2 – Moderate geomagnetic storm in progress

    A G2 – Moderate geomagnetic storm threshold was reached at 08:25 UTC on April 20, 2018 and G2 warning is in now in effect until 12:00 UTC. An interplanetary shock wave hit Earth's magnetic field around 23:50 UTC on April 19, Dr. Tony Phillips of SpaceWeather.com…

  • Negative polarity CH HSS sparks G2 – Moderate geomagnetic storm

    A persistent negative polarity coronal hole high speed stream (CH HSS) sparked G2 – Moderate geomagnetic storm on March 18, 2018. A gradual return to background levels is expected on March 19 as CH HSS influence subsides. However, enhanced solar wind parameters are…

  • CH HSS sparks geomagnetic storm, G2 – Moderate warning

    Geomagnetic storms caused by negative polarity, south polar coronal hole high speed stream (CH HSS) reached G1 – Minor levels early Tuesday, February 27, 2018. Solar wind parameters are expected to further increase today and a G2 – Moderate geomagnetic storm warning…

  • Negative polarity CH HSS sparks G1 – Minor geomagnetic storming

    An isolated interval of G1 – Minor geomagnetic storm conditions was observed early February 19, 2018, due to the influence of negative polarity coronal hole high speed stream (CH HSS). Solar activity over the past 24 hours was at very low levels. Earth-facing side…

  • CH HSS sparks G2 – Moderate geomagnetic storming

    A stream of high-speed solar wind coming from a recurrent, polar-connected, positive-polarity coronal hole is affecting our planet today and causing geomagnetic storming. G1 – Minor geomagnetic storm levels were reached at 08:48 UTC and increased to G2 – Moderate…

  • CH HSS sparks isolated periods of G1 geomagnetic storming

    Our planet is under the influence of a coronal hole high speed stream (CH HSS) which is causing isolated periods of G1 – Minor geomagnetic storming over the past 2 days, August 17 and 18, 2017. Meanwhile, solar activity is very low. There is only one numbered active…

  • Positive polarity CH HSS sparks G1 geomagnetic storm

    A positive polarity coronal hole high speed stream (CH HSS) is affecting our planet and will continue to do so over the next three days. Over the past 24 hours, by 12:30 UTC on July 22, solar wind parameters as measured by DSCOVR spacecraft reflected the influence…

  • CME hits Earth, sparks G2 – Moderate geomagnetic storm

    A coronal mass ejection (CME) produced by the July 14th M2.4 long-duration solar flare hit Earth's magnetic field at 06:01 UTC on July 16, 2017. G2 – Moderate geomagnetic storming started 9 hours later. The S1 Minor solar radiation storm that started at 09:00…

  • CH HSS sparks geomagnetic storms reaching G1 levels

    Our planet is under the influence of a positive polarity CH HSS which is causing geomagnetic storms reaching G1 – Minor levels. During the past 24 hours, solar wind parameters reflected the onset of a co-rotating interactive region (CIR) followed by the influence of…

  • 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…
