“The Earth’s magnetic field is currently disturbed,” the report said.
The magnetic storm is expected to intensify tomorrow to class G2.
At the same time, G1-class magnetic storms occur about 1.7 thousand times per solar cycle and can cause weak fluctuations in the power grid, slightly affect the operation of satellites and cause auroras. Due to a G2-class magnetic storm, voltage in industrial networks can fail.
The strongest magnetic storms belong to the fifth class. They can destroy power systems and even damage transformers.
The last time a magnetic storm was recorded on Earth was on August 4, when it approached the G3 level. In this case, interruptions in satellite navigation and radio communications are possible, and the person may experience headaches, migraines, insomnia, poor health and pressure changes.
