A magnetic storm has begun on Earth
A Kp5+ level geomagnetic storm is currently underway. Earth entered a stream of plasma from a coronal hole last night; while the magnetosphere remained under strain, it managed to stay within the "green zone" — until now. As expected, however, everything has a breaking point. The top chart shows that the solar wind speed near Earth has climbed from approximately 300 km/s to nearly 700 km/s over the last two days, making the onset of a storm inevitable. It is almost surprising that it didn't happen sooner.
At the moment, the auroral oval is intensifying quite rapidly. In the northwestern part of the country, the first faint auroras should already be visible—provided, of course, that the skies are clear.
