A geomagnetic storm, also known as a magnetic storm, is a temporary disturbance of the Earth's magnetosphere caused by a solar wind shock wave. The disturbance that drives the magnetic storm may be a solar coronal mass ejection (CME) or (much less severely) a corotating interaction region (CIR), a high-speed stream of solar wind originating ...
The Bastille Day solar storm was a powerful solar storm on 14–16 July 2000 during the solar maximum of solar cycle 23. The storm began on the national day of France , Bastille Day . It involved a solar flare , a solar particle event , and a coronal mass ejection which caused a severe geomagnetic storm .
While most of this week’s disturbances are expected to have little to no impact, there is a chance that the expected storm could reach a level of 3 out of 5 on the geomagnetic storm severity scale.
The 2003 Halloween solar storms had a peak Dst index of −383 nT, although a second storm on 20 November 2003 reached −422 nT while not reaching G5-class. [16] [17] The March 1989 geomagnetic storm had a peak Dst index of −589 nT, [18] while the May 1921 geomagnetic storm has been estimated to have had a peak Dst index of −907 ± 132 nT.
After a rapid intensification, Typhoon Mawar has become the most powerful storm of 2023 globally, according to the Joint Typhoon Warning Centre (JTWC). Mawar’s peak winds have surged to 175 mph ...
