Coronal Hole #63 arrived with a bang approximately 72 hours. It created a major geomagnetic storm that has only now begun to wane. At it's peak the Kp reached 7 which is major storm level and the Ap reached 106 which is at severe storm level. Though recent indices have fallen to a Kp-3 which is unsettled and a Kp-4 which is active, there is a fair chance that minor Kp-5 to moderate Kp-6 geomagnetic storm conditions may return again at any time and last for another 24-48 hours.
