Welcome to the New Universal Day! Star Date 00:13 UTC, August 24, 2025.
A substorm is brewing, but in the hovering around the zero demarcation variety. Low Energy Protons ramped up about an hour ago, but have since fallen off. Possible sightings on camera after it’s completely dark, but it will be weak. We can’t seem to get down below bZ -1 nT. A weak active period is beginning now, and will last most likely an hour or so. Maybe a bit longer. Somewhat of a non-event but in this business, you never know.
Coronal Hole Facing Earth:
A spike in solar wind could arrive in Earth’s atmosphere within 3 days. This particular coronal hole precipitated several alerts the last time it was facing earth. We could see some activity plus or minus within 3 days.
If you want to look at the GOES satellite image of the Coronal Hole, here’s the link!Scroll down and you’ll see the sun.
