Earth Experiencing Ongoing Geomagnetic Storm
by Mitch Battros - Earth Changes Media
Only C-flares have been seen in the past 24 hours.M-class flares are likely at any time. The Earth is still under the influence of the CME that produced an ongoing geomagnetic storm that started with a shock wave at 17:30 UT on July 15th.
This event continued today until 06:00 UT on July 16thwhen a magnetic cloud arrived at the ACE satellite. The Kp index reached 6 and the conditions are still active.
As the most active sunspot regionsmake their way around the western limb of the Sun, solar activity should diminish by early Wednesday July 18th.
