G2 geomagnetic storm forecast for October 9 as CME approaches Earth
Fri Oct 09 4:04 am
G1–G2 (Minor–Moderate) geomagnetic storms are likely on October 9, 2026, as a coronal mass ejection (CME) associated with an M1.4 flare on October 6, 2026 reaches Earth. The strongest activity is forecast during the 18:00–21:00 UTC period today, with G2 conditions also forecast for the following three-hour interval, ending at 00:00 UTC on October 10.

September 28 CME expected to deliver glancing blow to Earth on October 2, geomagnetic storm forecast
Wed Sep 30 7:22 am
NOAA’s Space Weather Prediction Center (SWPC) issued a G1 – Minor geomagnetic storm watch for October 2, 2026, following a large filament eruption and associated coronal mass ejection (CME) on September 28. SWPC expects glancing effects from the CME, while NASA models place its arrival near the start of October 2 with an uncertainty of several hours.

Multiple CMEs forecast to impact Earth on September 8 and 9, G1 geomagnetic storm watch issued
Mon Sep 07 12:38 pm
NOAA’s Space Weather Prediction Center is forecasting the possible combined arrival of several coronal mass ejections (CMEs) from early September 8 into September 9, with isolated G1 - Minor geomagnetic storm periods likely and a slight chance of G2 - Moderate conditions. Confidence in the timing and magnitude of the arrivals remains low.

M6.9 solar flare produces Earth-directed CME, G2 geomagnetic storm watch issued for August 28
Wed Aug 26 10:56 am
A strong M6.9 solar flare erupted from Active Region 4513 near the center of the visible solar disk at 10:02 UTC on August 25, 2026, causing an R2 – Moderate radio blackout. NOAA’s Space Weather Prediction Center (SWPC) said the associated CME and a second CME linked to a C4.7 flare and filament eruption later that day contained Earth-directed components, prompting a G2 – Moderate Geomagnetic Storm Watch for August 28. A G1 – Minor watch is in effect for August 27 due to an approaching coronal-hole high-speed stream.

Solar activity reaches moderate levels following strong M8.1 flare from Active Region 4513
Thu Aug 20 12:50 pm
Solar activity reached moderate levels on August 20, 2026, after Region 4513 produced an M8.1 flare at 11:42 UTC, the strongest of three M-class flares reported during the preceding 24-hour period. The flare was accompanied by Type II radio sweeps with an estimated velocity of 1 201 km/s

Long-duration M1.9 flare produces Earth-directed CME, G1-G2 geomagnetic storm conditions forecast for August 2
Fri Jul 31 10:05 am
A long-duration M1.9 flare from Active Region 4492 coincided with a filament eruption near N20W67, producing an eruptive sequence associated with an Earth-directed partial-halo CME and an S1 - Minor solar radiation storm on July 30, 2026. WSA-Enlil model runs placed a possible CME arrival at Earth early on August 2, when NOAA’s Space Weather Prediction Center expects G1-G2 (Minor-Moderate) geomagnetic storm conditions.

X1.3 solar flare erupts from Region 4482 on SE limb
Sun Jul 05 4:55 am
A major solar flare measuring X1.3 erupted from newly numbered Active Region 4482 on the southeast limb at 20:41 UTC on July 4, 2026. A coronal mass ejection (CME) was produced, but due to the location of the source region, an Earth-directed component is unlikely.

G3 – Strong geomagnetic storm observed, aurora as low as New Mexico after June 30 CME impacts Earth
Sat Jul 04 9:03 am
A coronal mass ejection (CME) associated with the June 30, 2026, solar flare reached Earth on July 3, triggering a geomagnetic disturbance that intensified to G3 – Strong storm levels early July 4.

Multiple CMEs forecast to impact Earth through July 6 after repeated eruptions from Region 4479
Thu Jul 02 11:08 am
Multiple coronal mass ejections linked to repeated eruptions from Active Region 4479 are forecast to reach Earth in stages from July 3 through July 6, 2026. NOAA’s official forecast calls for G1–G2 geomagnetic storm conditions on July 3 and 4, while later CME arrivals remain under model assessment.

X1.1 solar flare produces Earth-directed CME, G2 geomagnetic storm watch issued for July 3
Wed Jul 01 11:00 am
An X1.1 solar flare from Active Region 4479 produced a full-halo coronal mass ejection (CME) on June 30, 2026, prompting SWPC to issue a G2 - Moderate Geomagnetic Storm Watch for July 3.
