Today was calmer than yesterday’s forecast anticipated, but still uncomfortable for those who respond to Solar Wind Speed and Electron Saturation. Good News – it looks like NOAA’s back on point with their Forecasts today and their forecasts are more positive than last night’s. Yay! […]
Ok folks, this may get a bit messy… NOAA’s providing a 2 day forecast on half of their 3 day report, so I’m leaning on the UK’s MetOffice and various predictive charts to verify info across several sources. Y’all bear with me! . We had […]
. Solar Flares were mainly quiet today but we did have 1 M Class Solar Flare from an Incoming Sun Spot that created quite a bit of hubbub last time it came around, so we’ll keep an eye on it as it moves across the […]
The sunspot number is crashing! With the departure of the giga-ARs, all we have left is AR 4482, which thankfully seems to be healthy, and meager AR 4485 which is struggling to survive. At least we have the Earth-facing coronal hole to keep us awake, […]
Intense Coronal Hole is now earth facing And will increase the Solar winds for Earth in about 48 hours. ⚠️ Minor geomagnetic instability continues. But our #sun has calmed down a bit. ⚠️ NEW sunspot region will have some potential. Michael Milks
A coronal hole is directly facing Earth now. We may see enhanced geomagnetic activity in the next 2-3 days as the high-speed solar wind flowing out of this region passes over Earth. I wouldn’t expect anything higher than G1-G2 (Kp 5-6) storming from this, but […]
Today was a nice break compared to yesterday – no Geomagnetic Storms, Solar Wind Speed back in the 400 km/sec range, Electron and Proton Saturation were calm. . Solar Flares were the only thing bothering us today, and there were plenty! Most of them were […]
A low-level M-flare is occurring from AR 4479 now approaching the western limb… further low-level M-flares are expected as this region eventually rotates from our view over the next couple days. The eastern limb AR 4482 which generated the X1.3 yesterday is more interesting. Vincent […]
