Intense Magnetic Storm to Hit Earth for Several Days
An intense magnetic storm is expected to hit Earth starting this evening, August 27, due to a fast solar wind flow and a cloud of solar plasma moving towards Earth after a series of M-class flares. The first geomagnetic disturbances are expected after 21:00 Moscow time today, with the peak of the storm occurring on Friday and Saturday. The storm is forecasted to last until Sunday, causing disturbances at levels G1-G2, which are not dangerous for equipment but may cause headaches, weakness, or pressure fluctuations in sensitive individuals. It is advised to avoid overstraining and get enough sleep during these days.6 sourcesSee all sources
