Sol (Sun) and its phenomena

THE CME HAS ARRIVED: Arriving a few hours earlier than expected, a CME hit Earth's magnetic field on March 13th at approximately 11:00 UT. Minor (G1) to moderate (G2) geomagnetic storms are possible in the hours ahead. High latitude sky watchers should be alert for auroras.

I expected the arrival of the cme for tomorrow. However, I was noticing a "pressure" in my head, not quite a migraine, but something similar.

Now, it is clear why.:-D

I also noticed something, though I'm not entirely sure if I can attribute it solely to the CME (or the CME at all?). I was expecting it to hit the next day (today) as well and yesterday a 'calmness' descended upon me in the mid-afternoon. Difficult to describe. The war in Ukraine is important but I lost my 'intensity' in it. That's just one example. This 'calmness' has carried over to today. I can feel it.
 
Geomagnetic Storm in progress

CME IMPACT SPARKS GEOMAGNETIC STORM: As predicted, a CME hit Earth's magnetic field today, March 13th. The impact has sparked a moderately strong G2-class geomagnetic storm. When the CME arrived, "the sky exploded," reports John Dean, who sends this picture from Nome, Alaska:

What next? Geomagnetic storms could persist through March 14th as Earth passes through the CME's wake.

SOLAR ACTIVITY REPORT

▪︎Sunspots drop to 62
▪︎3 Coronal mass Ejections in the last 48 hours
▪︎Solar Flare in progress, if it is associated with a CME it will be geoefective
▪︎M1.4 class solar flare in progress, resulting in a minor radio blackout. HF comms below 10 MHz may be degraded over eastern South America, Africa, and Southern Europe.

ACTIVE SUNSPOT: It is 200,000 km long and crackling with M-class solar flares. We're talking about sunspot AR2965.

So far, the explosions have not hurled any significant CMEs toward Earth. Their primary effect has been to cause a series of minor shortwave radio blackouts.

Given the solar flare M1.59 one hour ago it was detected a X-ray flux absorption over southeast asian region.

ANOTHER CME IS COMING: On March 13th, an unstable filament of magnetism in the sun's far-southern hemisphere exploded. The resulting CME could deliver a glancing blow to Earth's magnetic field on March 17th. Minor G1-class geomagnetic storms are possible if/when the CME arrives.

GLANCING BLOW POSSIBLE TODAY: Later today, March 17th, a CME will pass by Earth and might deliver a glancing blow to our planet's magnetic field. The weak impact will cause, at most, a minor G1-class geomagnetic storm. That might be enough to spark bright auroras

CME WIPES OUT COSMIC RAYS: The March 13th CME did more than spark bright auroras. It also wiped out a lot of cosmic rays. Neutron monitors at the Sodankyla Geophysical Observatory in Oulu, Finland, recorded a sharp drop in cosmic radiation just after the CME arrived:

This is called a "Forbush decrease," named after American physicist Scott Forbush who studied cosmic rays in the early 20th century. It happens when a coronal mass ejection (CME) sweeps past Earth and pushes galactic cosmic rays away from our planet. Radiation from deep space that would normally pepper Earth's upper atmosphere is briefly wiped out.
