SEVERE SOLARWX
AKSHAY DEORAS
SEVERE WEATHER FORECASTER
AS WAS BEING EXPECTED
A MAJOR G3 GEOMAGNETIC STORM IS IN PROGRESS! THE SHOCKWAVE FROM CME HIT THE EARTH AT AROUND 1800HRS GMT ON 5TH AUG 2011
THE Bt index WAS AS HIGH AS 40nT AND THE KP SURGED TO 8 ( K=8) ON GOES SATELLITE AND AT BOULDER,CO KP=7 AND SPACE WEATHER PREDICTION CENTRE CATEGORIZED AS G3 GEOMAGNETIC STORM
THE STORMING IS STILL IN PROGRESS AND S1 SOLAR RADIATION STORM
**** PEOPLE LIVING AROUND AND ABOVE 50 DEG LATITUDE SHALL GET TO SEE AURORAS***
PEOPLE LIVING IN NORTHERN NETHERLANDS,GERMANY,NEW HAMPSHIRE ( USA) ARE SEEING AURORAS!
AS PER SPACE WEATHER PREDICTION ( NOAA), THE POSSIBLE HAZARDS FROM G3 GEOMAGNETIC STORM
EFFECTS KP FREQUENCY
G3 | Strong | Power systems: voltage corrections may be required, false alarms triggered on some protection devices. Spacecraft operations: surface charging may occur on satellite components, drag may increase on low-Earth-orbit satellites, and corrections may be needed for orientation problems. Other systems: intermittent satellite navigation and low-frequency radio navigation problems may occur, HF radio may be intermittent, and aurora has been seen as low as Illinois and Oregon (typically 50° geomagnetic lat.)**. | Kp = 7 | 200 per cycle |
