🌬️ Solar Storm Update – May 19⁠ ⁠ Earth is still feeling the effects of a high-speed solar wind stream (CH HSS) today! 💨⁠ Winds peaked at 750–800 km/s (that's over 1 million mph), triggering a G1 geomagnetic storm and auroras in high latitudes.⁠ ⁠ 📉 Wind speeds are now around 692 km/s but still strong enough to keep stormy conditions going through May 19. Expect calmer conditions by May 20.⁠ ⁠ ☀️ No major solar flares or Earth-directed CMEs were spotted. But one region, AR4087, has a powerful

🚨 Breaking major solar storm alert. A G4 “Severe” geomagnetic storm watch is active and models show a fast, merged “cannibal” CME targeting Earth inside the next 36 hours. This is one of NOAA’s highest alerts. At G4, the storm can inject currents into the ground, trigger voltage control problems on long power lines, degrade GPS timing and positioning, cause HF radio blackouts, and force satellites to fight drag. We are also near the peak of Solar Cycle 25 — Solar Maximum — which is why eruption
