The Watchers
An equatorial, negative polarity coronal hole high speed stream (CH HSS) coupled with waning coronal mass ejection (CME) influence produced a G3 – Strong geomagnetic storm conditions early April 10, 2022. Conditions could further escalate and even reach G4 – Strong or G5 – Extreme conditions.
Geomagnetic K-index of 5 (G1 – Minor geomagnetic storm) threshold was reached at 04:27 UTC, followed by K-index of 6 (G2 – Moderate) at 04:46 UTC and K-index of 7 (G3 – Strong) at 05:10 UTC.
