A geomagnetic storm continues on Earth, caused by the planet entering a stream of high-temperature solar matter. According to forecaster Mikhail Leus, geomagnetic field disturbances reached magnetic storm levels after 3:00 PM Moscow time on Friday and, with a brief interruption around midnight, have continued until now.
The peak occurred during the first three hours of Saturday, when the intensity exceeded the moderate G2 level but did not reach a strong G3 storm. Currently, the geomagnetic storm continues in the range from weak to moderate.
According to global forecasting centers, the disturbances will last until mid-Sunday.
This is already the second geomagnetic storm in May 2026 – the first was recorded on May 4-5. The event is caused by a coronal hole on the Sun, rather than flare activity, which explains the prolonged but moderate nature of the disturbances.
