Hi all,
Here's a summary of geomagnetic activity for July. Pretty quiet for the most part with just three active periods over the month, two of which could have been the result of passing CMEs
More recently, the fast flowing solar wind from a coronal hole, causing geomagnetic unrest around the poles, also 'moved the needle' on my magnetometer here in the UK as shown on my magnetometer chart. It's always so interesting to see geomagnetic effects for myself, with data streaming down the wires to my PC, showing up as wiggles on a chart.
Thanks for looking.
Stu.

Hi Stu,
Very interesting. I am still dreaming about putting such a device into my garden ¿?

Re: Geomagnetic activity July and 3rd Aug. '20
Many thanks, Rainer, Alexandra, Mark and Brian.
Now cycle 25 is picking up, hopefully we’ll see some more frequent and impressive geomagnetic activity on my monthly charts in the coming years.
