Coronal Hole

The sun may have calmed down, but that doesn't necessarily mean the Earth shouldn't expect to receive storms from it. A coronal hole opened up earlier today. For those who don't know, a coronal hole is a place within the sun's magnetic field which spreads apart. This allows 'solar wind' to escape. This means that a windy stream of plasma should reach our wonderful Earth June second or third. The impact of this plasma could cause geomagnetic storms, similar to those caused by solar flares, and auroras around our poles.
