A geomagnetic storm that's now hurtling into the Earth has been classified as "extreme," or a G5 storm, the highest level, the Space Weather Prediction Center said Friday evening.

But there have been warnings from forecasters with the U.S. National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's Space Weather Prediction Center about another storm brewing: a severe geomagnetic storm.

The geomagnetic storm that sent auroras ranging from Canada to the Netherlands in May 2024 was the first to reach Kp9 since 2003 — and this strength also played a part in it being the first of ...

The strength of the geomagnetic storm will impact how far south the northern lights will be visible. To signify the strength of geomagnetic storms, the SWPC uses a 5-point scale.

The geomagnetic activity is also monitored on the Kp index scale, which ranges from zero to nine. The University of Alaska Fairbanks Geophysical Institute is measuring Sunday’s storm at level six.
