well here in new York city it will be 80 degrees f outside the next 2 days.

which is very warm above normal for October.

usually October in new York city is 50-70 degrees

Thank you, NOLAangel! This may fluctuate in the magnetic field for the next 24 hours and sometimes the worst of the effects are bringing up the rear as the CME plasma passes by Earth. I'll try to keep an eye on the situation give updates. Also, always check at NINzrez' thread SOLAR WATCH as we have a team of volunteers updating solar and space events on a daily basis

Well here in Liverpool, England, we've just gotten high wind, and heavy rain, and the wind is pretty intense not if that's got anything to do with it?.

Hugh ive been watching the KP for the past few hours and the chart im watching is still sleepy..

It'll be here soon, maybe your being premature?




in another note, small flare starting to show on soho and stereo, but no xray data that i can see, another lift-off?
 Quoting: AnonCh4rl1


The arrival may be premature, but I'm not, haha. NOAA Issued a K=5 Threshold Reached Alert @ 2:00 UTC (a little over an hour ago):

Space Weather Message Code: ALTK05
Serial Number: 729
Issue Time: 2013 Oct 02 0203 UTC

ALERT: Geomagnetic K-index of 5
Threshold Reached: 2013 Oct 02 0200 UTC
Synoptic Period: 0000-0300 UTC
Active Warning: Yes

NOAA Scale: G1 - Minor
Potential Impacts: Area of impact primarily poleward of 60 degrees Geomagnetic Latitude.
Induced Currents - Weak power grid fluctuations can occur.
Spacecraft - Minor impact on satellite operations possible.
Aurora - Aurora may be visible at high latitudes, i.e., northern tier of the U.S. such as northern Michigan and Maine.

NASA Goddard's CME prediction forecasts a "disturbance Duration' of 27 hours!

Event Issue Date: 2013-09-29 23:06:23.0 GMT
CME Arrival Time: 2013-10-02 14:39:33.0 GMT
Arival Time Confidence Level: ± 6 hours
Disturbance Duration: 27 hours
Disturbance Duration Confidence Level: ± 8 hours
Magnetopause Standoff Distance: 5.4 Re

 Quoting: Hugh M Eye



my bad your right, do cmes normally taper up on the kp index or do they start strong n fade down, kp of 5 is pretty nice already, i dunno weather to turn my sensitive electronics off for a few hours.
 Quoting: AnonCh4rl1


That's a great question. I've seen it happen both ways. A fast and powerful blast from an X or M flare usually hits with a wallop and then slowly susides. But many times we've seen Spaceweather.com call a 'weak impact' and 8 hours later we're at K=7 (G3 storm). Much of the effects are unpredictable and bears close monitoring. The Bz magnetic polarity is usually the main factor- if the Bz measurement is negative (south) the storm levels increase; and if they're positive, most of the plasma will glide by Earth's magnetosphere like water off a duck's back. Sometimes the Bz values just jump back and forth or stay north for a few hours and then dive south for a stormy few hours. The Bz can be seen on the ACE Solar Wind-Magnetic Field plots:

WHOA! I've never seen it go to MINUS FORTY on this graph before:

Some comparative data:

[link to www.swpc.noaa.gov]

Data indicate STORM NOW OCCURRING

Expect major aurora activity and electrical atmospheric effects, e.g., sprites, high static electricity... you'll step out of your car and touch your car and the ground and get one hell of a static shock after driving your car a bit.

Sun will get whiter/hotter.
