Space Weather Message Code: ALTK08
Serial Number: 49
Issue Time: 2025 Jan 01 1747 UTC
ALERT: Geomagnetic K-index of 8, 9-
 Threshold Reached: 2025 Jan 01 1741 UTC
Synoptic Period: 1500-1800 UTC
Active Warning: Yes
NOAA Scale: G4 - Severe
NOAA Space Weather Scale descriptions can be found at
www.swpc.noaa.gov/noaa-scales-explanation
Potential Impacts: Area of impact primarily poleward of 45 degrees Geomagnetic Latitude.
Induced Currents - Possible widespread voltage control problems and some protective systems may mistakenly trip out key assets from the power grid. Induced pipeline currents intensify.
Spacecraft - Systems may experience surface charging; increased drag on low earth orbit satellites, and tracking and orientation problems may occur.
Navigation - Satellite navigation (GPS) degraded or inoperable for hours.
Radio - HF (high frequency) radio propagation sporadic or blacked out.
Aurora - Aurora may be seen as low as Alabama and northern California.

  2. Despite the severe geomagnetic storming, the local club group doing a POTA (Parks On The Air) on 10 meters at Volcano National Park today is having a wildly successful day with contacts to central US and Eastern US.. with the geomagnetic K index falling from 9 to 8 during operation.  Propagation is not an exact science, apparently.

    • Ben  at Suspicous Observers published yesterday morning the G4 magnetic would be of little affect. G5 would have some bang to it.

    Hal Turner: Last night as heavy rain and (rare) December Thunderstorms rampaged through the eastern USA, three iconic structures were ALL struck by lightning: The Empire State Building in New York City, The US Capital and Washington Monument, in Washington, DC.
    The strikes all came BEFORE midnight on the east coast.
    Speculation is running rampant that this was either the final “F.U.” of 2024, or a harbinger of bad things to come in the near future.
