Powerful magnetic storms will cover the Earth for three days

The Earth is facing a period of intense magnetic storms due to the formation of a large coronal hole in the Sun. This was announced on April 19 by representatives of the Space Research Institute of the Russian Academy of Sciences and the Institute of Solar-Terrestrial Physics.

According to forecasts, by the evening of Monday, April 21, a sharp increase in activity should be expected, the probability of a strong magnetic storm may reach 80%. On the same day, low atmospheric pressure is also forecast in Moscow.

"At the moment, if the size of the hole remains at the current level, the duration of the storms is expected to be relatively short (two days, from Monday to Tuesday). In negative scenarios, this period may also take over part of the environment," the institute's Telegram channel says.
