[Regnum] On the evening of September 12, a magnetic storm of level G2 began on Earth. Then it increased to level G3. This was reported by the solar astronomy laboratory of the IKI and ISTP RAS.
G1 storms are considered to be the weakest, while G3 storms are strong storms that cause disruptions to satellite navigation and radio communications.
The geomagnetic situation began to change at about 06:00 Moscow time. The solar wind speed increased sharply from 350 to 450 km/s. Around midday, the solar wind was already blowing at a speed of 530 km/s and a weak magnetic storm began, then its level increased to G3.
As reported by IA Regnum, earlier scientists predicted with almost 100% probability that a new plasma cloud would hit the Earth on September 12. Calculations showed the arrival of solar matter around 22:00 Moscow time. The peak of the storm is expected at 03:00 - 04:00 Moscow time, when the dense core of the cloud reaches the planet. A high probability of polar lights, including in mid-latitudes, cannot be ruled out.
