Geomagnetic Storm Reaches Extreme Level

5 Out of 5 on the Space Weather Prediction Center's Scale

The intensity of the ongoing geomagnetic storm has reached an extreme level, now categorized as a level 5 out of 5 by the Space Weather Prediction Center (SWPC).

Solar Wind Speed and Arrival Time

At the current speed, the solar wind will take approximately 60 minutes to travel from the Deep Space Climate Observatory (DSCOVR) to Earth, indicating an impending impact.

Three-Day Forecast

The SWPC has issued a three-day forecast for magnetic storms, utilizing the K-index and Planetary K-index to assess their intensity.

Biggest Solar Storm in Nearly Two Decades

This severe geomagnetic storm is the result of a solar flare, the most powerful in nearly two decades, triggering a widespread disruption on Planet Earth.
