A CH HSS can spark geomagnetic storms on Earth, according to NOAA, though not typically as strong as those brought on by coronal mass ejections, like we saw earlier this month.

The geomagnetic storm scale ranges from G1 to G5. At the lowest end is G1, described as minor storms that can lead to aurora being visible in Maine and Michigan’s Upper Peninsula.

In especially strong geomagnetic events, the aurora can extend even farther south. According to USA TODAY, during a major event in 1958, the Northern Lights were visible as far south as Mexico City.

NOAA has rated this geomagnetic storm G3 -- or strong -- on a 1 through 5 scale, with 5 being extreme. A strong storm can disrupt the power grid, satellite operations and GPS.
