A shock in the solar wind at 19:54 UTC on 24 September marks the arrival of the ICME from 21 September (and probably that of the 22 September too). The speed jumped from 315 km/s to 440 km/s and the interplanetary magnetic field from 7 to 19 nT. The speed later reached 470 km/s and the magnetic field 28 nT with Bz down to -27 nT. This created moderate geomagnetic storms globally (Kp 6) and minor storms locally (K_Bel 5). The Earth is still inside the ICME (or ICMEs, to be confirmed as more data becomes available) and the corresponding geomagnetic storm is still ongoing.

A partial halo CME with angular width around 150 degrees was first seen erupting towards the NW by LASCO-C2 at 09:48 UTC on 24 September. This CME is backsided and not expected to affect the Earth.
