The Space Weather Prediction Center (SWPC), named the Space Environment Center (SEC) until 2007, [1] is a laboratory and service center of the US National Weather Service (NWS), part of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), located in Boulder, Colorado. [2]
[96] [97] The final storms reaching the highest level of NOAA's G-scale before Solar Cycle 25 occurred in 2005 in May, [98] [99] [100] August, [101] and September, respectively. With a NOAA rating of G5, a peak Dst of −412 nT, and aurorae seen at far lower latitudes than usual in both hemispheres , this geomagnetic storm was the most powerful ...
NOAA operates the National Weather Service's Space Weather Prediction Center. [ 11 ] The concept was turned into an action plan in 2000, [ 12 ] an implementation plan in 2002, an assessment in 2006 [ 13 ] and a revised strategic plan in 2010. [ 14 ]
NOAA's Space Weather Prediction Center issued a geomagnetic storm alert Sunday that remains in effect Monday morning. ... geomagnetic storms are measured by a five-point scale. G1 geomagnetic ...
The geomagnetic storm has the potential to be considered a G4 on NOAA’s Space Weather Scales, considered severe, beginning Friday evening and into Saturday, according to Dahl.

The NOAA G-scale describes the significance of effects of a geomagnetic storm to the public and those affected by the space environment. It is directly derived from the K p-scale, where G1 is the weakest storm classification (corresponding to a K p value of 5) and G5 is the strongest (corresponding to a K p value of 9). [6]
— NOAA Space Weather Prediction Center (@NWSSWPC) September 11, 2024. A Kp level 6 has been issued, indicating that the aurora will be brighter and more active as it moves further from the poles.
