A magnetic storm, reaching G2 level, ended on Earth on the night of June 6. This was reported by Mikhail Leus, a leading specialist at the Fobos weather center, who specified the parameters and dynamics of the geomagnetic event.
According to the specialist, the magnetosphere disturbance began on the evening of June 5, with a delay relative to initial forecasts. During the period of maximum activity, which occurred in the evening hours Moscow time, the intensity of the phenomenon exceeded the average G2 level, but did not reach the strong G3 class. By the morning of June 6, the storm had practically ended, although weak fluctuations of the geomagnetic field persisted in the first half of the day. After that, the Earth's magnetosphere returned to a calm state.
Leus noted that the event developed in waves and peaked within a limited time interval, after which it rapidly declined.
