Geomagnetic disturbances of level G1 have begun on Earth. This was reported by the Laboratory of Solar Astronomy of IKI and ISZF.
The level of the storm is still moderate. At the moment, its only source is the influence of the coronal hole. The expected plasma ejections from the Sun have not yet arrived. In case of their arrival at night, a significant increase in disturbances is possible.
