Intense geomagnetic storms ( Dst ≤ −100 nT) have been associated with interplanetary structures involving large‐intensity ( B s ≥ 10 nT) and long‐duration ( T ≥ 3 hours) values of the southward component of the IMF. We show that near solar maximum, the solar origin of such structures seems to be associated with active regions* (involving flares and/ or filament eruptions) occurring close to the streamer belt and to growing low‐latitude coronal holes. It is also shown that low‐latitude coronal holes had a dual‐peak solar cycle distribution during solar cycle 21, similar to that previously reported for the above mentioned interplanetary and geomagnetic phenomena.
