On Saturday, July 19, a magnetic storm on Earth will be very weak. The forecast shows that significant geomagnetic perturbations are not expected by at least July 20. About it reports the service "Meteoagent", referring to the forecasts of Noaa and Geomagnetism.
According to the assessment of the US Oceanic and Atmospheric Research (NOAA), complex active regions are observed in the Western Hemisphere of the Sun, which can potentially cause sun emissions. However, the likelihood of a solar radiation storm even the minimum level of S1 remains low.
The Geomagnetism portal also confirms that during the next weekend, geomagnetic activity will be calm, only with minor short -term fluctuations.
Magnetic storms occur when charged particles thrown away during solar outbreaks reach the ground and interact with the magnetosphere. Most often it occurs 1-3 days after the activity in the sun.
The consequences of the storm can feel not only technologies but also people:
-
Mete -sensitive people increase headaches, sleep is disturbed, blood pressure increases, anxiety occurs;
-
possible failures in GPS, satellite communications, radio communications;
-
Polar glows appear in high latitudes;
-
Sometimes the operations of power systems are recorded.
The strength of magnetic storms is measured by K-index. The higher its value, the more powerful the impact on the human body and technique.
However, there is no reason to alarm now - the current forecast remains within low activity.
