A strong magnetic storm began on Earth on the morning of May 29

[Regnum] A strong magnetic storm of level close to G3 began on Earth on the morning of Thursday, May 29. This was reported by the Solar Astronomy Laboratory of the Space Research Institute (IKI) of the Russian Academy of Sciences.

"A strong magnetic storm of a level close to G3 was registered on Earth this morning. The peak of magnetic field fluctuations occurred between 03:00 and 06:00 Moscow time, " the laboratory's website said.

It is noted that the storm was recorded against the backdrop of a noticeable increase in geomagnetic activity, which became known the day before after the formation of new large coronal holes in the solar atmosphere.

Scientists have clarified that the Earth will remain in a zone of increased solar wind speed until the end of this week, and during this time the risks of storms and geomagnetic disturbances will be increased.

“As of 7-8 am, the situation had stabilized to the level of weak disturbances, but further surges are possible during the day,” the report added.

As reported by the Regnum news agency, on May 26, astronomers from IKI and the Institute of Solar-Terrestrial Physics (ISPhZ) of the Russian Academy of Sciences predicted a magnetic storm on Earth in the last week of May after powerful solar flares. They warned weather-sensitive people about this.

Geophysicist and leading researcher at the Schmidt Institute of Physics of the Earth of the Russian Academy of Sciences Alexander Zhigalin told Regnum on May 25 that the scale of the highest-class solar flare has been exaggerated in the information space. According to the scientist, it is an ordinary strong flare.

1 Sol; the driver of evolution. Or at least one of them.

Which, in part, might explain why a lot of places were having intermittent issues yesterday.
