"There continue to be noticeable disturbances in the Earth's magnetic field caused by the recent surge in solar activity. In the time interval between 15 and 18 hours Moscow time, the geomagnetic field indices returned to their morning peaks, corresponding to weak and medium magnetic storms," the Telegram channel said.

It is noted that at the moment a polar oval is forming over the country and the phenomenon will be best seen in the eastern regions of Russia, where the sun has already set. If the geomagnetic situation remains at the current level for another 3-4 hours, the European part of the country will also be able to observe this phenomenon.
