Storms Approaching: Solar Wind Intensifies, Northern Lights Probability Increases in Central Russia

Increased solar wind parameters create conditions for geomagnetic storms

Solar wind parameters intensified on Saturday afternoon, July 26, increasing the likelihood of auroras in mid-latitudes in the coming night.

Currently, the solar wind speed reaches about 550 km/s, and the BT index (magnetic field of the wind) exceeds 10 nT (nanotesla), while the BZ index (component of the magnetic field of the wind) sometimes drops into negative values.

This combination of factors can cause geomagnetic disturbances capable of causing auroras in regions near Moscow and other mid-latitudes.

Due to the absence of white nights, residents of these areas have the opportunity to observe flashes on the northern horizon. If the appearance of the aurora is confirmed, we will definitely report it.
