Intense geomagnetic storm conditions continue with yet another period where we reached the severe G4 geomagnetic storm level which equals a Kp of 8. Aurora displays have been reported from all over Europe. Even locations as far south as Austria and Switzerland are seeing some amazing aurora as you can see on this image overlooking the Swiss alps.
Impact! The first of a total of up to six coronal mass ejections has now arrived at the DSCOVR satellite and will arrive at Earth within the next 30 minutes.
A quick update on the current solar activity and the expected geomagnetic conditions in the coming days.
A lot of people come to SpaceWeatherLive to follow the Sun's activity or if there is aurora to be seen, but with more traffic comes higher server costs. Consider a donation if you enjoy SpaceWeatherLive so we can keep the website online!
