Bad news for weather-sensitive people: maximum geomagnetic risks set for October 26
Yesterday morning, the Sun experienced a high-level flare.
It was initially reported that the ejected masses would have no impact on our planet.
However, later it became known about adjusted forecasts.
It turned out that magnetic storms are still possible.
It is possible that the solar plasma ejection that occurred during yesterday's flare will hit the Earth.
TASS reported this with reference to two institutions related to the Russian Academy of Sciences.
Possible consequences of the October 24 outbreak
The X-class flare that occurred on the eastern edge of the Sun yesterday morning was initially reported to be harmless.
It was noted that the mass ejection "went sideways" from the Earth
But new data has emerged indicating that the ejection may still hit our planet with its edge.
As a result, magnetic storms may make themselves known.
Initially, the level of geomagnetic risks was almost zero. However, after new information appeared, the forecast was adjusted. It came to a sharp increase in risks.
At the moment, the maximum risks are tentatively set for the middle of Saturday, TASS quotes a message from the Solar Astronomy Laboratory.
In other words, weather-sensitive people should be prepared for certain difficulties on October 26.
