A Double Whammy of Storms Give Earth a 1,2- Punch | Solar Storm Forecast 01 September 2025

We have two Earth-directed solar storms hitting Earth now! The first, is a stealth-like CME, which is wispy and short, but the second and much larger storm has a hidden surprise. Its signature during the eruption and later in coronagraph imagery signals that there may be quite a bit of coronal material on its way to us. This may be why we are already seeing a strong shock signature before the event has even arrived. Aurora photographers could get a great show if the magnetic field of this storm is favorably oriented, even down into mid-latitudes. However, radio operators and GPS users should expect the next couple of days will bring disruptions and mild inconveniences with respect to radio signal propagation and GPS reception. Precision farmers, satellite navigation users, and UAV pilots should remain extra vigilant over the next couple of days as unexpected signal fades or erroneous navigation and timing signals are possible. Learn the details of this coming storm, see when aurora may be visible, and find out what else our Sun has in store.
