Solar storms are rated by NOAA’s Space Weather Prediction Center (SWPC) on a five-level scale, with five being the most extreme and rarest space weather conditions. Level 4 out of 5, or "severe ...
An extreme storm, estimated at Dst −531 nT arose from a fast CME (mean ≈1500 km/s), occurred during the ascending phase of the minimum of the relatively weak solar cycle 14, which is the most significant storm on record in a solar minimum period. Aurora was conservatively observed to ≈44.1° ILAT, and widespread disruptions and ...
