For the third day in a row, a magnetic storm has persisted on Earth, slightly exceeding the average level of G2 in intensity, according to Mikhail Leus, a leading specialist at the Phobos weather center. This is confirmed by data from the Laboratory of Solar Astronomy of the IKI RAS.
Around 3 a.m. Moscow time, a sudden onset of a G2.3 level magnetic storm was recorded, falling within the range between medium and strong values. Most likely, these are echoes ofsolar flares from November 5-6 - the speed of movement of solar matter clouds turned out to be lower than calculated, and their impact on the Earth's space weather is likely to occur today, but will be less strong than previously expected. The ejected masses of solar matter, which were supposed to reach the planet by this time, passed by Earth. Bursts of geomagnetic activity occurred exclusively during the daytime.
According to the latest data, disturbances in the geomagnetic field will last until Monday, with a probability of up to 85% of strong G3 level magnetic storms predicted today, and G2 level medium magnetic storms expected on November 10.
Specialists from the Laboratory of Solar Astronomy of the IKI RAS make more restrained forecasts: geomagnetic warnings are currently maintained for the coming days, associated with the still elevated level of solar activity. But there are no longer any impacts of comparable power to the one expected the day before. At the same time, the surge in solar activity is not over, and the risks of new strong flares still remain.
