A weak magnetic storm was observed on Earth on March 7 and 8.
Modern.az reports that, according to the British Geological Survey, the situation should return to normal today.
It is reported that the speed of the solar wind will gradually weaken starting today. Today, March 9, periods of activity are still possible, but a magnetic storm is not expected.
Meteoagent also reports that Earth's geomagnetic field will be relatively calm today. The Kp index is predicted to remain below 4. The weakest magnetic storm begins at 5.
Magnetic storms are a phenomenon related to solar activity. When a flare or coronal mass ejection occurs on the Sun's surface, a stream of charged particles spreads into space. Upon reaching Earth, these particles interact with its magnetic field, causing fluctuations known as magnetic storms.
Such events typically last from several hours to several days. During these periods, disruptions may occur in the operation of satellites, navigation systems, and radio communications.
Some individuals report feeling unwell during periods of strong geomagnetic fluctuations, including headaches, fatigue, and blood pressure fluctuations.
Scientists continuously monitor solar activity through satellites and ground-based observatories.
