Alerta de tormenta geomagnetica
------------------------
Issue Time: 2023 May 06 0453 UTC

ALERT: Geomagnetic K-index of 6
Threshold Reached: 2023 May 06 0450 UTC
Synoptic Period: 0300-0600 UTC

Active Warning: Yes
NOAA Scale: G2 - Moderate

Potential Impacts: Area of impact primarily poleward of 55 degrees Geomagnetic Latitude.
Induced Currents - Power grid fluctuations can occur. High-latitude power systems may experience voltage alarms.
Spacecraft - Satellite orientation irregularities may occur; increased drag on low Earth-orbit satellites is possible.
Radio - HF (high frequency) radio propagation can fade at higher latitudes.
Aurora - Aurora may be seen as low as New York to Wisconsin to Washington state.

Tormenta Geo-magnetica severa
----------------------------------------------------------
Severe (G4) Geomagnetic Storm!
April 23, 2023 @ 17:25 UTC (UPDATED)
The DSCOVR solar wind data is showing a shock passage at 17:00 UTC and this should be the expected CME reaching the satellite. The solar wind speed is currently near 500 km/s and the Bz component of the IMF continues to point south. An impact to our geomagnetic field is imminent.
UPDATE #2: A Severe (G4) storm is in Progress. VHF aurora contacts on 2/6m with distorted signals now being made across middle to high latitudes. Widespread aurora across middle to high latitudes once dark outside is likely.

UPDATE: The anticipated CME swept past Earth at 17:37 UTC. The arrival also pushed proton levels above the minor (S1) radiation storm threshold. With the solar wind now near 550 km/s and the Bz component sharply south (-23nT), moderate (G2) to strong (G3) storm conditions will be possible. Aurora sky watchers should be alert once dark outside.

ALERT: Geomagnetic K-index of 8, 9-
Threshold Reached: 2023 Apr 23 1944 UTC
Synoptic Period: 1800-2100 UTC
Active Warning: Yes
NOAA Scale: G4 - Severe

SUMMARY: Geomagnetic Sudden Impulse
Observed: 2023 Apr 23 1737 UTC
Deviation: 48 nT
Station: BOU

We should be on alert for auroras over the coming week. A massive, very active sunspot is moving into view.

Our capabilities here at precursor serve as a nexus to this climatological study of space weather's effects in the auroral zone and in different locations all over the world. Our real-time forecasting may be utilized all over the world and via mapping the we can help to predict when the next major aurora or other solar activity will hit.
