A powerful magnetic storm will cover the Earth

23 January 11:44

Tomorrow, January 24, and on Saturday, January 25, powerful magnetic storms will cover the Earth. This was reported by Komersant ukrainskyi with reference to Meteoagent.

The Watchers reports that a coronal mass ejection has occurred on the Sun. The coronal mass ejection caused by this solar flare is expected to strike from the end of January 24 to January 25.

The power of magnetic storms will range from four to five points. A magnetic storm of this magnitude can cause not only health problems, but also disruption of communications.

The forecast is subject to change as solar researchers update their data every three hours.

Geomagnetic storms are classified by their power level – the K-index – from 2 to 9. The higher the K-index, the stronger the storm and its consequences and impact on people and equipment.

For those who are dependent on weather changes, it is especially important to be careful these days and pay attention to their well-being.
