The Sun has generated many coronal mass ejections (CMEs) that are headed toward Earth, according to the Storm Weather Prediction Center (SWPC) of the National Oceanic Atmospheric Association (NOAA).
“Solar activity was elevated through the weekend and various events, including solar flares and filament eruptions, were associated with CMEs,” according to the publication from NOAA.

As of yesterday, July 29th, “some of these CMEs were determined to have Earth-directed components and arrival could begin” because of an early July event.
Because of how long it takes for the ejections to cross and surpass the Earth’s magnetic field, a number of further CMEs also happened, indicating an arrival on June 30 that will extend into the 31st.
The amount of active regions and the related complex sunspot groups are causing further CMEs to continue to erupt from the Sun, and more CME arrivals are possible, according to the Weather Prediction Center.
