The magnetic storms are over.

The magnetic storms have ended. The solar wind speed remains moderately elevated, but other parameters (temperature, density, magnetic field) have already returned to normal.

April (bottom graph) appears to be a rather unstable month so far: two strong geomagnetic surges and one moderate one occurred, separated by fairly long green periods. The next surge, leading to storms, is expected on April 29-30 (in the last days of the month). Until then, a green streak will prevail.
