A new magnetic storm from the sun will engulf Earth

magnetic storm

The sun is approaching the peak of its activity, so spots appear more often on it, and it emits flares that can cause a magnetic storm on Earth. Geomagnetic disturbances are becoming more intense and lasting.

On September 25–26, the Earth will already be under another magnetic storm. According to the space weather tracking site SpaceWeather, the storm will be associated with a coronal mass ejection that flies towards our planet. However, the forecasts produced by NASA and NOAA’s models are not the same. The first predicts that a magnetic storm will cover the Earth on September 26, and the second on September 25. It will be weak, category G1.

Geomagnetic disturbances started on September 23 and will continue until September 25, according to the Meteoagent portal.

The Earth’s geomagnetic field can be disturbed by magnetic storms, which can vary in length and intensity. They are linked to streams of charged particles emitted by the sun. Magnetic storms have the potential to impair elderly and weather-dependent people’s well-being, as well as cause communication disruptions. In particular, they may experience headaches, dizziness, nausea, joint pain, fatigue, and insomnia.

It was previously reported by scientists that only seven months after the end of solar activity can one determine with certainty whether or not it has peaked.
