Magnetic storm covered the Earth on the morning of January 1

Geomagnetic phenomenon will cease by noon

A weak magnetic storm began on Earth on Wednesday morning. This was reported by Mikhail Leus, a leading specialist at the Phobos weather center.

According to him, since the evening of December 31, the Earth's geomagnetic field has been in a slightly disturbed state. Because of this, residents of some regions of Russia could observe auroras.

This morning, at 7:58 Moscow time, the Kp index, which reflects the level of disturbance of the Earth's magnetosphere, reached 5 units, which allows us to talk about the beginning of a weak magnetic storm, class G1.
