The Geomagnetic Storm Watch expired early this morning and was not renewed. Our HP Index averaged HP = 3.3 today. Helmholtz Centre for Geosciences has their HP Index chart online again, and sure enough, that chart shows we were at HP = 5 (G1) Geomagnetic […]
Note: Helmholtz Centre for Geosciences’ HP Index feed has been down all day, so we’re using NOAA’s KP Index for tonight’s post. As a reminder, the KP Index provides Geomagnetic measurements based on 3-hour averages of all reporting observatories. . The new Coronal Hole’s HSS […]
Today was really quiet – we didn’t even get to HP = 1.0 for more than 3 hours today! Solar Wind Speed did hover just *under* 400 km/sec most of the day, and we did have 1 M Class Solar Flare early this morning. Geomagnetic […]
Today was mainly quiet. . We had C Class Solar Flares, which are becoming more frequent as the Sun Spot classified as capable of X Class Solar Flares moves closer to the Sun-Earth Magnetic Line. NOAA’s only slightly increased the chances for M Class Solar […]
Our Space Weather conditions are relaxing a bit, albeit slowly. Solar Wind Speed’s back down into the 500 km/sec range and slowly dropping, but the CH HSS is expected to keep them at uncomfortable levels for at least 3 more days. Electron Saturation was comfortable […]
Today’s expected CME wasn’t strong enough to cause Geomagnetic Storms, and the CH HSS followed far enough behind that they weren’t able to combine forces and cause Geomagnetic Storms. The CME has weakened during the day and the CH HSS is becoming more powerful and […]
Multiple enormous coronal holes are drawing attention on the Earth-facing side of the Sun, stretching across its northern and southern hemispheres. These dark regions in the Sun’s outer atmosphere allow high-speed solar wind to escape into space—and Earth could feel the effects. The next 72 […]
