Geomagnetic Unrest/G1 storm 23rd December 2020

Post by Carbon60 »

Hi all,

Earth is passing through a stream of fast flowing solar wind, creating geomagnetic unrest detectable on magnetometers around the globe including my own here in the North West of England. Here are my data from over the past three days illustrating the effect. I understand there's more to come over the next couple of days. Maybe there'll be a chance of seeing the Aurorae :)
