Hey there, weather enthusiasts! Let's talk about what's going on up there in the sky. We've got some interesting updates from the U.S. Department of Commerce and NOAA.
First off, let's discuss the geomagnetic activity. The Kp index, which measures geomagnetic storms, reached a level of 5 in the past 24 hours, indicating a minor G1 storm. Looking ahead to Sep 26-28, we're expecting Kp levels to hover around 4.67, staying within the G1 range. So, keep your eyes on the sky for some potential auroras.
Moving on to solar radiation, NOAA reports that we've been below storm level thresholds lately. The forecast for Sep 26-28 shows a minimal 5% chance of experiencing any S1 or greater solar radiation storms. Looks like we're in the clear on this one.
Now, let's talk radio blackouts. There have been some R1 level blackouts observed recently, with the biggest one hitting on Sep 25, 2024, at 2312 UTC. Looking towards Sep 26-28, there's a 55% likelihood of experiencing R1-R2 level blackouts and a 20% chance of R3 or higher. So, keep that radio tuned in for any surprises.
