The geomagnetic storm that commenced yesterday will go down in the record books as the strongest geomagnetic storm since the Halloween Solar Storms of 2003. The May 2024 storms thus far peaked at a Dst of -412 nT.
For the first time since the Halloween Solar Storms of 2003 we have now officially reached the Extreme G5 geomagnetic storm threshold at 22:54 UTC.
