Trader consensus at 100% for Below G1 on October 2 reflects confirmed NOAA Space Weather Prediction Center observations showing the geomagnetic field remained quiet to unsettled, with the highest three-hour Kp index reaching only about 2—well below the G1 threshold of Kp 5. Actual readings throughout the day stayed at G0 levels, as solar wind speeds hovered near 320 km/s and the southward IMF component produced minimal coupling with Earth’s magnetosphere. The anticipated glancing influence from the September 28 coronal mass ejection arrived weakly or missed optimal orientation, preventing the forecasted minor storm conditions. This outcome aligns with post-event magnetometer data rather than pre-event models. A realistic challenge would require revised official Kp reanalysis exceeding 5 for any interval, though such adjustments are rare once preliminary indices are validated.
