There will be even more magnetic storms, the process will last two to three years. We will have to live in conditions of magnetic storms and auroras until about 2028. This was announced by Valery Petrov, an employee of IZMIRAN.
When the maximum solar activity is close to completion, the bands with spots (Hale bands) descend to the equator and enter into a struggle with each other. As a result of this struggle, the polarity of the hemispheres changes places. This leads to increased flares and magnetic storms.
The impact of a storm on Earth depends on how exactly the plasma reaches Earth, and whether it reaches it at all. But the fact that there will be more storms is yes. And there will be more strong ones in general — yes.
Earlier www1.ru reported that two of the strongest flares occurred on the Sun.
