GEOMAGNETIC STORM IN PROGRESS
Kp Index is at level 7
Scale of G3
Power systems: voltage corrections may be required, false alarms triggered on some protection devices.
Spacecraft operations: surface charging may occur on satellite components, drag may increase on low-Earth-orbit satellites, and corrections may be needed for orientation problems.
Other systems: Intermittent satellite navigation and low-frequency radio navigation problems may occur, HF radio may be intermittent, and aurora has been seen as low as Illinois and Oregon
(typically 50° geomagnetic lat)
MAGNITUDE 6.0 SOUTH OF PANAMA
Subject to change
Depth: 10 km
Distances: 402 km SW of Panamá, Panama / pop: 408,000 / local time: 04:42:12.0 2021-05-13
