EXTREME WEATHER 2024 SolarCycle 24: 2013 x 2014 x 2015 x 2016 x 2017 OVERDUE CME FINALLY ARRIVES April 16th, 2024: Arriving almost two days later than expected, a CME hit Earth’s magnetic field. The impact did not initially cause a geomagnetic storm, but it was strong enough to spark bright auroras around the Arctic Circle. Hours after first contact, a G1-class geomagnetic storm erupted as Earth passed through the CME’s wake. May 10 2024 SEVERE GEOMAGNETIC STORM–NOW! The first of six CMEs hurled toward Earth by giant sunspot AR3664 hit our planet’s magnetic field today. The impact on May 10th at 1645 UT jolted magnetometers around the world and sparked a severe (G4-class) geomagnetic storm. This storm is underway now. More CMEs are following close behind and their arrival could extend the storm into the weekend. Sign up for Space Weather Alerts to receive instant text messages when the CMEs arrive.
