Here is the last 48 hours of the Earth-facing side of the Sun and its corona (outer plasma atmosphere). This "fish hook" coronal hole rotating in looks pretty serious. I'm forecasting elevated earthquake activity globally will occur end of month and through the Full Moon...

Strong overflow has begun at Kilauea Volcano on the Big Island of Hawaii, indicating the eruptive episode 50 will begin shortly (perhaps this is the start right here). Follow the livestream to watch it live, the fountaining is expected to last about 9 hours!

Here it comes... A reoccurring negative polarity coronal hole structure is soon to go geoeffective and hit Earth with its high-speed-stream. This follows after a sequence of M-flares have charged up the ionosphere, and a minor CME impact has just come in. Yeehaw!

WE HAVE IMPACT. The EMP from the solar storm shockwave spiked the interplanetary magnetic field to Bt 87 nT and Bz -32 nT which is INSANE. We're simultaneously in severe G4 geomagnetic and S4 radiation storms. Now the interplanetary magnetic field is at Bt ~35 nT and Bz -23 nT.

Today is important astronomically as there is an inferior conjunction of Mercury occurring, and since Earth is currently in the latter half of a coronal hole high-speed solar wind impact, soon a direct magnetic coupling will occur between the Sun, Mercury, and Earth.

A negative polarity trans-equatorial coronal hole is visible on the Sun and will connect to Earth with its magnetic field and high-speed solar wind in ~5-6 days. The last geoeffective coronal hole high-speed-stream impact we had perfectly lined up with the Venezuela earthquake doublet (M7.2 & M7.2) and the M7.2 earthquake that hit Japan on June 24th... With the last 2 weeks being dominated by intense solar flare activity, Earth's ionosphere and global electric circuit is already very highly charged, which suggests that this CH HSS impact could act as a stronger trigger than normal upon critically stressed faults. That said, the coronal hole isn't very wide, so Earth won't be embedded in its solar wind for long. Initial forecast range for a significant bump in global seismic activity from this would be July 9-14th.

Check out the INSANE growth on 4366 that's happened since just yesterday! It just keeps getting bigger while staying compact because new magnetic flux keeps pushing through the intermediate regions. The risk of a modern Carrington Event is incredibly high right now...

In three days starting around July 9th the solar wind will intensify once again from this coronal hole high-speed-stream impact. We consistently observe, especially with this solar cycle, that geoeffective coronal hole connections result in bursts of high-magnitude seismic activity globally in the days following...

Today (02/02/26 UTC) we had one of the strongest solar flares of the 21st century, a combined 8.1, 1.5, and 2.8 x-class solar flare sequence that is still ongoing at m-class levels. FLASHING LIGHT WARNING FOR SENSITIVE VIEWERS.

A solar storm impact has arrived as expected, and now geomagnetic activity is increasing! The storm is dense (~13 /cm3), slow (~420 km/s), and double the strength (~11 nT) of the normal solar wind. Unless it dramatically strengthens we're probably looking at G1 levels at most.

The last 48 hours have been busy for the Sun 💥 First is a plasma eruption from 4482 (left side) followed by a giant plasma filament launch just above. We see the large trans-equatorial coronal hole rotating to geoeffective position, and just below it a 2.7 C-flare from newly developed AR4485 creating a coronal shockwave and general plasma instability for the entire Earth-facing region (watch how the plasma disturbance shifts upwards to the plasma filament and to the left to AR4482). Not guaranteed, but today's ripe for bigger activity!

Here is an animation depicting the seismic waves from today's historic M6.1 in America's Gulf sweeping out across the globe. Though almost an identical reverse thrust like the M7.8 that struck the Philippines a day before, this earthquake was ~355x weaker in total energy release

Earth was hit by multiple CMEs triggering a G3- geomagnetic storm last night, and we're now being buffeted by fast solar wind. More Earth-directed solar storms are racing towards Earth and are expected to impact in <12 hours now. I expect G3-G4 geomagnetic conditions, get ready!

FIREBALL OVER WASHINGTON STATE MARCH 28th! This marks the 11th fireball event with 100+ observer reports across the USA in the month of March. Many other fireballs have flown in this month as well that have been also similar in brightness, duration, etc but were at really odd hours so weren't seen by too many people. Most of these fireballs are coming from the anti-solar direction and could be debris traveling in advance of other larger fragments or even a BIG ONE. The currently anti-solar direction is exactly towards the trajectory path of Interstellar #3IATLAS during its perihelion in Oct/November exactly along the ecliptic plane in-between the orbits of Earth and Mars.

In the last 38 hours we've had 1.7 and 1.1 X-flares from the Sun, earthquake activity off the coast of Japan (M6.8, M6.4, M6.0) has becoming worrying and looking like foreshock activity for a BIG earthquake (M8+), and we're now in a S1 radiation storm from the 2nd X-flare. Multiple solar storm impacts are expected over the next few days. Big linear planetary alignment occurs on the 20th with the Sun, Mercury, Moon, Earth, and Uranus with Pluto and Saturn+Neptune in harmonic aspects. Yikes...

Here's the solar activity of the last ~40 hours. Two big flares (M5.8, X1.1) and basically continuous low-grade m-class activity now from 4479. Check the broad coronal loops of 4478 though connecting wide across its surroundings. It's clearly holding back a lot of latent energy and plasma and if it pops off we could potentially witness a major solar flare event (X5.0+)

Here we observe the seismic waves sweeping out outwards across North America from the M7.3 Mexico earthquake today. Vertical ground motion is shown (red: up, blue: down). First compressional p-waves jolt through, then s-waves shear through, and then strong surface waves follow.

I'm currently without grid power (running on solar) in Pennsylvania where thunderstorms last night ripped through the area. There was almost a shockwave like impact when they first arrived. 1" of rain in ~20 minutes, lightning strikes over the area and tons of cloud to cloud discharges. This is the biggest tree I found that came down, directly on a large sweep of lines. Power is expected to be restored Tuesday or Wednesday... Tens of thousands are without power. There are localized zones where huge trees came down, thick healthy branches twisted and ripped off, and power lines are down all over. Four BIG trees down just in the 2 blocks around where I am clearly in a rough alignment, almost like a mini tornado swept through... This morning I did an extensive survey of the area, some areas were unaffected, others look like war zones. I'll do my best to release an update on this but the solar system i'm running off of is limited in capability.

If we get a big earthquake to strike Baja, then we can look north and perhaps expect a large earthquake to strike in California soon afterwards. This is exactly what happened in 1906 in April with a M7.3 on April 10th followed by San Francisco's Great M7.9 Earthquake in 1906 💥

The last 2.5 days of solar activity have been wild! A 1.1 X-Flare and about a dozen M-flares, charging the Earth with more plasma whilst plasma launched from the Sun itself will directly impact Earth in 24-48 hours... The chance of a BIG solar storm launching towards Earth now is decreasing, but if a big flare pops off from the limb we could have a significant radiation storm hit us in <1 hour.

Another electrically supercharged storm rolled across Pennsylvania last night, with emergency tornado alerts being sent off at dusk, and the end result was power was knocked out for more places. Here is another video of some of the damage from the July 4th storm of fury. Crews are working hard to restore access to the grid for tens of thousands, and cleanup has begun, but a lot of people are very shaken up from this ordeal. Nothing like this has been experienced in Central PA in a loooong time. All-time historic long-duration heat record was set for Philly from this heat dome. Based on what we're observing geophysically, welcome to the new normal.

Interesting how the earthquake swarm started in the southern Philippines from the M7.8 earthquake stopped (no >M5.0 EQs last 24 hours) just as Kamchatka activated with M6.0 and M6.6 earthquakes plus numerous aftershocks. Both the Philippines and Kamchatka are about equidistant from Japan.
