CME and coronal hole influences cause G1-G2 geomagnetic storming, M3.3 flare erupts beyond solar limb
Mon Jan 12 5:06 am
A long-duration M3.3 flare erupted from just beyond the east-southeast limb at 11:00 UTC on January 11, 2026, as CME and coronal hole influences continued to disturb the solar wind environment. The geomagnetic field reached G1 - Minor to G2 - Moderate storm levels on January 10–11 under combined CME and coronal hole high-speed stream effects. Elevated solar wind parameters and unsettled-to-active geomagnetic conditions are expected to persist through January 14.
