Earth to face six-day magnetic storm due to coronal hole on Sun
Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited.
[Regnum] The Earth will be covered by a six-day magnetic storm caused by a coronal hole on the Sun. This was reported on September 12 by the press service of the solar astronomy laboratory of the Space Research Institute of the Russian Academy of Sciences (IKI RAS).

"Geomagnetic disturbances from the new coronal hole may last up to six days. The peak is expected on September 14-16," says a message published on the IKI RAS Telegram channel.

According to scientists, a large coronal hole has formed on the Sun, creating a wide stream of fast solar wind, the full impact of which on Earth could take up to six days.

On September 11, the Solar Astronomy Laboratory of the IKI RAS reported that new magnetic storms could hit the Earth in the near future. According to the data, a significant change in the geomagnetic situation, including magnetic storms of the second and third levels on a five-point scale, is expected on September 13-14 due to the appearance of a large equatorial coronal hole on the visible side of the Sun.

On the night of September 10, a sudden magnetic storm of medium strength occurred on Earth, which was not predicted in forecasts and arose without external influences from the Sun. It was assumed that the cause of the phenomenon was a large substorm - a spontaneous imbalance in the tail of the magnetosphere, which released the energy of the planet, which was confirmed by the observed polar lights.

2 If that thing burns out, we're in for a real cold snap.

3 This event is forecast to reach G2 or possibly G3.

Back in early May 2024 we had a G5 which caused some problems but we learned some about protective measures and recovery and survived it pretty well.
