The sun has fallen into summer hibernation
Solar activity is visibly entering its traditional summer hibernation, this time accompanied by a general decline in the solar cycle. The star is rather dull, with nothing to see.
An archive of magnetic storm data dating back to 1932 has been opened
The scientific unit's archive has opened data on magnetic storms from January 1, 1932, for external access. The archive contains information on the KP geomagnetic Index (KP). Some of the data has been verified by key international sources: NOAA and GFZ.
A strong magnetic storm is expected to begin during the day
According to calculations, the officially declared completed and almost forgotten surge in solar activity at the beginning of the month will lead today to a strong (up to G3 level) magnetic storm of a planetary scale.
A magnetic storm has passed and ended on Earth
Based on the plasma parameters currently recorded in the space surrounding Earth, the geomagnetic event has concluded. Minor residual disturbances remain, sustained primarily by the increased solar wind velocity. Other parameters (temperature, density, and magnetic field strength) have returned to normal.
The solar strike on Earth occurred under a mild scenario
A flare plasma from the Sun reached Earth at approximately 4:00 UT. The plasma's measured parameters are currently significantly lower than predicted. The velocity is particularly noticeable, hovering around 500 km/s, while models predicted an impact velocity exceeding 1,000 km/s.
A strong magnetic storm of level G3 is expected
The onset of a strong and prolonged magnetic storm of category G3 is expected this evening Moscow time as a result of the arrival of several (two or three) plasma clouds at once to the Earth, ejected yesterday by the Sun in the direction of the Earth as a result of a series of strong flares.

The second of today's flares (which occurred at 07:00 UT) tore apart and scattered a cloud of neutral hydrogen in the corona.
The Sun has experienced its third consecutive X-level flare
The Sun is experiencing its third consecutive near-X-level flare. Active region 4455 continues to produce explosions like a finely tuned clockwork mechanism. The first two events have already launched a plasma cloud toward Earth. It appears the third cloud will now follow in their wake.
The Sun experienced its strongest flare in 1.5 months
At 01:36 UT, a solar flare of M9.3 level was registered, which, according to catalogues, is the strongest since April 24, 2026.
The solar activity surge at the end of May is over
Apparently, the increased activity in the second half of May has completely died down. During this time, at least four high-level X-ray flares occurred on the solar side. The Earth-facing side has remained quiet throughout these days.
