[Regnum] The Earth will be hit by the first moderate magnetic storm of this month on the evening of August 2. This was reported by the press service of the Solar Astronomy Laboratory of the Space Research Institute (IKI) of the Russian Academy of Sciences.
According to scientists, a cloud of solar plasma ejected by the solar flare of July 30 is approaching Earth. The bulk of the ejection will miss the planet, but its edge is expected to still hit Earth and trigger a magnetic storm.
Experts consider this scenario the most likely. They explained that on the night of July 30-31, instruments recorded a stream of high-energy protons, which usually precedes the arrival of a solar plasma cloud.
The magnetic storm is expected to peak between 6:00 PM and 9:00 PM Moscow time. Scientists predict it will reach level G2, which ranks as the medium level on the five-point geomagnetic activity scale.
The day before, Mikhail Leus, a leading specialist at the Phobos weather center, also warned that a magnetic storm could hit Earth within the next 24 hours. He estimated the probability of this scenario at 75%. According to his forecast, geomagnetic disturbances could last up to nine hours.
Earlier, Sergei Bogachev, head of the Solar Astronomy Laboratory at the Space Research Institute of the Russian Academy of Sciences, stated that magnetic storms will continue to occur regularly on Earth for at least the next two years. He stated that the current solar activity cycle has already peaked, but during its decline, geomagnetic disturbances will continue to occur due to coronal holes on the Sun. The scientist predicts that magnetic storms will only completely disappear during the solar cycle minimum, expected in 2028–2031.
