Geomagnetic conditions have been at the moderate G2 geomagnetic storming level in response to an extended period where the direction of the IMF (Bz) stayed southward. Source of this activity is unknown but we think this might be one of the faint and slow M-class coronal mass ejections that passed our planet, which would explain the lack of any solar wind speed or density increase.
A lot of people come to SpaceWeatherLive to follow the Sun's activity or if there is aurora to be seen, but with more traffic comes higher server costs. Consider a donation if you enjoy SpaceWeatherLive so we can keep the website online!
