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 Solar Astronomy Laboratory of the Space Research Institute of the Russian Academy of Sciences.
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 of solar 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 space weather of the Earth is likely to occur today, but will be less strong than expected earlier. The ejected masses of solar matter, which were supposed to reach the planet by this time, passed by the 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 strong magnetic storms of level G3 predicted today with a probability of up to 85%, and magnetic storms of medium level G2 expected on November 10.
Specialists from the Solar Astronomy Laboratory of the Space Research Institute of the Russian Academy of Sciences make more restrained forecasts: geomagnetic warnings are currently maintained for the coming days, associated with a 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 complete, and the risks of new strong flares remain.
