The global geomagnetic conditions have reached major storm levels (Kp 7- to 7+) since 00:00 UTC on October 08. The geomagnetic conditions locally have reached minor storm levels (K BEL 5) since 00:00 UTC and are currently at active levels (K BEL 4). The geomagnetic storms are probably the result of the arrival of an interplanetary coronal mass ejection (ICME) related to the CMEs which lifted off the Sun on October 04. Minor to moderate storm conditions are possible in the upcoming hours, with possible major storm intervals.

A partial halo coronal mass ejection (CME) has been detected around 20:30 UTC on October 07 in LASCO/C2 and LASCO/C3 coronagraph imagery. It is most likely associated with the X2.1 flare peaking at 19:13 UTC on October 07, produced by SIDC Sunspot Group 257 (NOAA AR 3842). The CME is mostly directed to the southwest. Further analysis of the event is ongoing to determine possible Earth-directed components.
