Currently, Earth is experiencing a strong geomagnetic storm of level G3.3, caused by a double coronal mass ejection (CME) from the Sun. These ejections reached Earth on April 15, intensifying geomagnetic activity and causing auroras in the high latitudes of Europe and North America.
If the storm maintains its strength over the next few hours, there is a possibility of observing auroras in central Europe, including the central and northern regions of Russia.
IKI RAN and ISZF SB RAS note that this is one of the strongest auroral zones this year. Thus, the probabilities in Murmansk, Anadyr, Salekhard are 100%. In Arkhangelsk — 80%. In St. Petersburg — 30%, in Moscow — 14%, but it is still too light in these cities.
