On Earth — a powerful magnetic storm of level G3+

Currently, a sharp increase in geomagnetic vibrations is recorded. According to the latest dimensions, the KP geomagnetic activity index increased to the level of 7.33, which corresponds to a strong magnetic storm of category G3+ on a 5-point scale— the message says.

According to scientists, the previous storm of such power was recorded on June 1. Then the space event was associated with a direct blow to the ground of a large sunny proofusk. Now the storm has been provoked by a solar wind, saturated with a dense flashing plasma, formed due to numerous events of the last few days. There were no impulse blows to the planet yet.

The forecast for a day is not defined. The situation is currently not described by models. There were no scenario forecasts for the storm of this category— scientists state.

The night before is magnetic Storm of level G1 It fell to the ground due to new flashes in the sun, the event provoked polar radiance in a number of regions. Before that, the nearest magnetic storm was predicted On October 2. However, on Monday morning, in the Laboratory of Solar Astronomy, they reported that the growth of solar activity that began last weekend was longer and powerfulthan expected.
