Warnings of a New "Magnetic Storm"

Warnings of a New

Information published on the website of the X-ray laboratory at the Lebedev Institute of Solar Physics, part of the Russian Academy of Sciences, indicates that a magnetic storm is expected to occur from November 22 to 26. This information suggests that "the Earth's magnetic field will be disturbed during November 22-26, with a weak magnetic storm (G1 level) expected on November 22, 24, and 25. On November 23 and 26, the storm will be weaker, but the magnetic field will still remain disturbed."

It is worth noting that "solar flares can cause magnetic storms on Earth, which in turn disrupt power systems and also affect the migration patterns of birds and animals. Severe magnetic storms can disrupt shortwave communications and navigation systems, as well as lead to power outages in industrial networks. Furthermore, increased solar activity can expand the area of aurora observation." The strength of the magnetic storm is measured on a scale of five levels, with the weakest being G1 and the strongest being G5.
