[quote:madajs:MV8xMzgyOTUyXzM0OTkzNjI4X0M0NDkwMzQy] [quote:#Geomagnetic_Storm#:MV8xMzgyOTUyXzM0OTg5NzU2XzNGQUYxQjYx] They had the WSO polar field chart and it clearly showed the reversal of the sun's magnetic field. [/quote] The poles are both readily reversing, but they haven't fully reversed. The north pole essentially has no polarity at present, it's sitting on the fence between (+) and (-). The south pole is still (+) but it's lower latitudes have shown drastic change and we'll get a reading on the polemost region over the next few months. The key to reading this graph http://www.leif.org/research/WSO-Polar-Fields-since-2003.png is to realize that the constant "curves" in the readings represent different latitudes of the respective polar regions that are being measured. All the latitudes of a respective polar region need to change polarity before it's a done deal, and even then a pole needs to strengthen and stabilize in it's new polarity before activity will calm down.

We have just had another huge X flare measuring at a X8.2 originating from sunspot 2673

An update as to the arrival time of this CME will be added once all data has been reviewed.
The X9.3 flare is the 14th largest X flare ever recorded!
On September 4th we had 7 M flares from fast growing sunspot 2673, with at least 1 large dense Earth directed CME. This CME will arrive late in the day on Wednesday September 6th.
There is now a 25% chance for X flares over the next 24hrs & 71% chance for M flares
We have a Long Duration M2.4 Solar Flare starting
01:05 UTC July 14th 2017
There was a full halo CME observed with this solar flare. The associated CME is Earth Directed. See discussion on the last page for all updates!
