A magnetic storm is expected on Earth on May 15.
A magnetic storm is expected on Earth with a 100% probability on Friday, May 15th. This was reported in the Telegram channel of the Laboratory of Solar Astronomy of the Space Research Institute of the Russian Academy of Sciences (IKI RAS) on Wednesday, May 13.
Scientists have noted that the area of impact on the Earth includes another coronal hole, according to the website. kp.ru . This is the largest structure of this type currently present in the Sun, the experts added.
"It is impossible to disperse from it at all, and the forecast is based only on the strength of the impact, which is expected to begin on Friday, May 15. The main branch of the forecast (85%) assumes G1-G2 magnetic storms (average level). With a probability of 15%, the magnetosphere will remain in the yellow (disturbances) or even green (calm) zone. The probability is 100%," the Moscow City News agency quotes the message.
The IKI RAS added that on Wednesday, May 13, the edge of a plasma cloud ejected on May 10 may hit the Earth with a 50% probability, Moscow 24 writes.
Earlier, on May 11, the Laboratory of Solar Astronomy at the IKI RAS warned that the beginning of next week would be calm in terms of the geomagnetic situation, but deterioration was expected on May 15. 360.ru . It is predicted that G1-level magnetic storms are expected on May 15 and 16.
It is unknown how much the magnetic disturbances this weekend will affect their well-being, so weather-dependent people should monitor their condition more closely, rest more and avoid unnecessary stress.
A day earlier, on May 10, the Laboratory of Solar Astronomy at the IKI RAS reported a powerful flare in a new active region on the Sun, RT reports.
A strong M2.6 class flare lasting 70 minutes occurred on the Sun on May 7. The Institute of Applied Geophysics clarified that solar flare activity is low: five Class C flares and five Class B bursts were registered.
