From April 5 to April 10, 2025, a series of weak G1-class magnetic storms caused by increased solar wind activity are predicted on Earth.

According to the Space Research Institute of the Russian Academy of Sciences and the Institute of Solar-Terrestrial Physics of the Siberian Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences, the first disturbance will begin on the night of April 5 around 00:00 Moscow time and will last until the morning, after which the Earth's magnetosphere will stabilize. The second stage of geomagnetic fluctuations is expected from April 8 to April 10.

Professor Sergey Bogachev of the Space Research Institute of the Russian Academy of Sciences, the cause of these phenomena will be an increase in the flow of charged particles from the Sun.

The solar wind demonstrates sharp changes in speed, which forms shock waves in the magnetosphere. So far, we are talking about weak disturbances, but the situation may change
Sergey Bogachev, Professor of the Space Research Institute of the Russian Academy of Sciences

G1-level magnetic storms can affect the operation of satellites, cause interference in radio communications, and minor failures in power systems. Weather-sensitive people may experience headaches, fatigue, or pressure drops.
