Earth Currently Being Hit By Heavy Solar Winds June 26th 2025!

James Kaufman, World News Report, today, June 26, 2025. God bless you and yours, no matter where you are in the world. Please subscribe, give us a thumbs up, ring that bell for critical future updates. Well, ladies and gentlemen, we've been in and out of that geomagnetic storm that was promised to us by that coronal hole that was Earth-facing several days ago. It definitely took longer to get here than anyone figured. Taking a quick look at our KP indexes, which is really a combination of the plasma and solar winds or cosmic winds hitting Earth at any given time. Their bars are in three-hour periods, and NASA and NOAA have updated recently this estimated planetary index, and this is the one they use exclusively, and it says yesterday that we had Six hours of a geomagnetic disturbance and today it looks like we had 15 hours of a geomagnetic disturbance. We finally over the last three hours had a G1 geomagnetic storm. Although they're still predicting a G2 geomagnetic storm until the storm is right here and we haven't seen the next leg to drop. It should drop very shortly. Now, we can take a look at some of the other KP indexes, but they are not considered by NOAA or NASA. Our Boulder Index has 6 hours of a geomagnetic disturbance yesterday, and it looks like they have 12, 15, 18 hours of a geomagnetic disturbance today. Taking a look at our Fredericksburg index, it looks like we had three hours of a disturbance yesterday, three hours of a G1 geomagnetic storm, and then today it looks like we had nine hours of a geomagnetic disturbance, followed by the last three hours of a G1 geomagnetic storm. Now, to continue our college index, Well, it always seems to be the most sensitive, and yesterday it claims, but we saw, and much earlier in the day, may I add, three hours of a geomagnetic disturbance, followed by three hours of a G1 geomagnetic storm. Today, it looks like we started the day off with six hours of a geomagnetic disturbance. It looks like we had a break. We went into a G1 geomagnetic storm and then climbed to a G2 geomagnetic storm for six hours and we've had a lull on the college index back to a geomagnetic disturbance for six hours. Taking a look at the official estimated planetary The KP index, the only thing they see here is a G1. KP5 geomagnetic storm. They really don't cover the disturbances. Anything less than five just comes green. Really a disturbance starts at a KP4, so this is really nine hours of disturbance here. And this 367, believe it or not, is rounded off to a four and considered a geomagnetic disturbance as well. So let's continue. And I thought we'd jump over to the German KP index to kind of compare it. Now, they show yesterday that we had, it looks like, six hours of a geomagnetic storm and nine hours of a geomagnetic disturbance. And it looks like today they had, well, Nine hours of a geomagnetic disturbance, plus a G2 geomagnetic storm, followed by the last. All right, I thought we'd check our work with the German KP index, and it looks like, well, yesterday, Germany says that we had nine hours of geomagnetic disturbances, with six hours of a The geomagnetic G1 storm here, the 467 rounds up to a five, which is a G1 geomagnetic storm and it looks like today we opened up with nine hours of a geomagnetic disturbance followed by six hours of a geomagnetic storm the five three rounds down to the five and the four six seven rounds up to the five both being a G1 geomagnetic storm over to DSCOVR real time solar wind satellite you see that plasma is mostly down around two centimeters cubed. We'll see what they guesstimated. Today is the 26th. Looks like it hangs around two to four centimeters cubed. There are some abnormalities in here, but we really can't pick. There's a 32.58. We'll call that a total abnormality for one minute. It's at 26.79. So we did see some abnormalities here. And we started out the day at around 675 kilometers per second solar winds. And that did peak at 850, 850 kilometers per second, according to DSCOVR. And we didn't get a huge geomagnetic storm during this time period, which is strange, except for on the college index. You can see it's slowly moving its way up. And we're almost up to an 800. Definitely closed the day right here at a 750. And we've been as high as an 806 within the last 30 minutes or so. Temperatures have remained slightly elevated, but not as high as we've seen them. Not even close. So let's continue. All right, over to ACE Real-Time Space Weather Satellite, kind of checking our work. Here we see temperatures look... Much more elevated, for sure. We see solar winds starting out right about where we said, 675 going up over 800 here, and slowly working their way up. They're still looking for a G2 inbound that is forecasted currently by NOAA. And when we look at plasma, it generally stays below 5 centimeters cubed. We do have a few, maybe three. Maybe four minutes that are very abnormal with very high plasma readings here. Shows are up if we didn't mention besides a few moments in the day. Again, temperatures are much more elevated on our ACE satellite, which is our older solar wind plasma satellite. Taking a look at, well, the bright light in our sky, our sun. You can see that that coronal hole that was so large has dissipated quite a bit and has almost reached the outgoing limb. It doesn't look like much right now. We have another coronal hole inbound. We have a dark filament up here that looks like it wants to release. It would not be effective towards earth. We have sunspots coming around the limb. I have several earth-facing sunspots that I will show you now. Heading over to HMI Intensigram, we see that really we have only five named sunspot groups earth-facing. Most of them are simple and green and then we have one beta gamma 4120 here. No major flaring whatsoever today. We'll take a look at that. We also remember that we have that coronal hole coming around here and at least three sunspots that will need to be named probably by tomorrow. We'll take a quick look at the back side right now, the composite at least. All right, there's not much to talk about except for a very, very strong sunspot here. And red, 037. We have two additional, 036 and 038, but this is a sunspot group that we will remember. Now remember this was taken about a day and a half ago, so this is going to have moved much closer to the earth facing side of our solar disk, which is this. And finally taking a look at our GOES X-ray flux. Shows us any of the solar flares or filaments that might have come near our atmosphere and hit our GOES satellite. We see nothing. Saw a little bump just now, but really that was a C2 flare or something like that. We've seen nothing in over seven days. Very, very quiet on our sun. One last thing. I think that we've had that last bar drop or last measurement drop. Let's take a look. We have, in fact, had the 7 p.m. central to 10 p.m. bar drop. Must drop about 15 minutes after the fact. And it shows that we're still in a G1 geomagnetic storm, except for, well, the Fredericksburg that says we just had a disturbance. All the rest of them are screaming G1, still a geomagnetic storm. Remember, a G2 has been predicted. God bless. Please share, subscribe, and always remember, anything's possible. Bizarro.
