On the evening of August 9, the most powerful magnetic storm in the last two months will begin in the world. According to the two Ras of the Solar Astronomy Laboratory, the reason for this was the mass release after the M4.4 level that occurred on August 5 erupted. Scientists say that geomagnetic consequences are much stronger than expected at the beginning.
Solar ejection provoked the formation of a coronal hole that caused sharp anger in the magnetosphere of the world. It is estimated that the current activity level is 7.1 points out of 10 possible. Four epidemics were recorded last day – three classes C and one class M, more intense.
According to experts, the storm will last more than a day. Saturday, August 10, will be held in the red zone – the storm can start from Moscow at 6 am. The probability of strong disorders is estimated to 55%, weak emissions -20%, and the chance of a calm condition of the magnetosphere is only 25%.
Despite the current storm, in general, August promises to be relatively calm. Only at 19, 20 and 28-30, to the “orange” level. However, in early September, scientists foresee new storms – especially the 5th and 7s of the day.
Previously, the President of the Solar Astronomy Laboratory, Sergey Bogachev, warned about approaching a 60 -day storm record. And according to the researchers, Moscow and St. Even in St. Petersburg, the likelihood of seeing the northern lights has about 13%.
In early June, remember that an abnormal powerful flash in the sun has already happened.
Meanwhile, magnetic storms take place about six times a year. The first strong flash was recorded in January.
