A coronal hole is approaching the zone of influence on Earth; it is currently clearly visible at the center of the solar disk, the Solar Astronomy Laboratory of the Space Research Institute of the Russian Academy of Sciences reported. Against this background, models forecast up to a 50% probability of weak G1-level magnetic storms.
At the same time, a pair of new spots with unspent reserves of energy has appeared on the Sun, which has slightly revived flare activity.
The graph turned from a straight line into a small comb pattern — several weak, barely distinguishable flares occurred. However, according to the scientists, the increase in activity may end there: the spots are showing no signs of further development.
