But satisfaction as the high speed solar wind produces a massive kick on my magnetometer:

Hopefully the image is easy to understand:
Top part is the warning of a threat from the coronal hole / high speed solar wind published on 25th September on Solarham.com
Next part (on the left) shows the traces from my magnetometer (the dark blue and light blue boxes) and, between them, the equivalent record from a professional magnetometer at Dourbes in Belgium.
On the right is a summary of the data collected by 4 professional magnetometers in the UK (the yellow traces are the East-West Magnetic Field Vector which is captured by my instrument).
It will be interesting to see if the 'moderate' activity of today shows another 'kick' as predicted......... watch this space
it was extremely annoying to get the alerts with the rain beating down outside.
