Active to Minor (G1) storm conditions is being observed on Monday thanks to an enhanced solar wind stream containing a long sector of southward Bz. Aurora sky watchers at high latitudes should be alert if it is dark outside.

A moderately strong M6.4 solar flare was detected this morning around AR 4232 at 08:43 UTC (Sept 28). So far the event does not look to be the source of an Earth directed CME. Image by SDO/AIA.

A minor (G1) geomagnetic storm watch was just officially added by NOAA/SWPC beginning Sept 14th when the expected coronal hole stream is predicted to reach Earth. SolarHam.com

An eruption was observed today following an event that took place behind the west limb around 12:25 UTC (Sept 9). STEREO Ahead (COR2) captured this coronal mass ejection (CME) leaving the Sun and because it is farsided, it will be directed away from Earth. SolarHam.com

A coronal hole stream is now moving past Earth above 650 km/s. A minor (G1) geomagnetic storm watch remains in effect. Aurora sky watchers at higher latitudes should be alert during the next 24-48 hours. SolarHam.com

Incoming CME detected by ACE spacecraft just before 20:30 UTC. The solar wind speed increased from around 400 km/s to near 650 km/s. A passage past Earth should be expected within the next hour. Stay tuned to solarham.com for the latest information.

The latest EPAM update at 20:01 UTC (9/1). is showing a spike in particle levels meaning the CME that left the Sun on Saturday is getting closer. Stay tuned for updates.

Initial CME tracking model issued by NASA shows a directed CME impact by late Sept. 1 or early Sept. 2 UTC. Further update will be added once the official NOAA/SWPC model is available.

Incoming coronagraph imagery by GOES-19 CCOR confirms a halo CME is associated with the M2.7 flare and appears to be Earth directed. I would expect a passage past Earth within 48-72 hours and at least a minor (G1) or even a moderate (G2) geomagnetic storm watch to be issued

Long duration solar flare (M2.7) in progress around AR 4199. A coronal mass ejection may be associated based on coronal dimming evident. More to follow. SolarHam.com

An eruption well behind the west limb of the Sun was observed beginning around 16:45 UTC (Aug 29). A coronal mass ejection (CME) is associated and will be directed away from Earth. SolarHam.com

Just in case we needed a reminder of just how small we are here on planet Earth. This is an approximate size comparison to active sunspot region 4197 on August 28, 2025 @ 00:30 UTC. Image by SDO/HMI.

The sunspot region that many have been anticipating is now beginning to turn into view from off the east limb. It remains to be seen just how magnetically complex it is and if it still poses a threat for strong solar flares. We will find out more over the next 24 hours.

A coronal hole stream is now moving past Earth above 600 km/s. Active geomagnetic conditions (Kp4) is being observed and a watch for minor (G1) geomagnetic storming is in effect for the remainder of today.

Updated coronagraph imagery following the M4.4 solar flare reveals a westerly directed CME. If there is an Earth directed component, it will be very faint. A final update will be provided once a CME tracking model becomes available. Image by LASCO C2.
