Forecaster Leus: Magnetic storms will hit the Earth on October 9
Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited
[Regnum] Weak and moderate magnetic storms will hit Earth on October 9, and the planet's geomagnetic field should return to a calm state by October 11. This was reported on October 7 by Mikhail Leus, a leading specialist at the Phobos weather center.

He pointed out that the current week began with increased solar activity.

“The Sun experienced several M-level flares, the second-to-lowest possible intensity, two of which, recorded [on October 6], ejected two relatively large plasma clouds toward Earth,” Leus wrote on the MAX platform.

According to data from international forecasting centers, clouds of solar material will reach Earth early in the morning of October 9, the forecaster clarified.

"Geomagnetic disturbances will last for about two days, and on October 9, weak and moderate magnetic storms (G1-G2) are possible. The probability of magnetic storms is approximately 80%," he added.

The first magnetic storm of the fall occurred on September 8th. The event was weak, classified as Category 1 on a five-point scale. The disturbances were associated with a plasma cloud ejected by the Sun.

Anton Reva, a senior researcher at the Space Plasma Physics Department at the Russian Academy of Sciences' Space Research Institute, previously told Regnum that the next solar cycle maximum is expected in 2036–2038. This period typically sees the greatest number of magnetic storms. The current cycle's maximum was recorded in 2025.
