The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) has announced that a small geomagnetic storm is likely to hit the Earth. Noting the possibility of various disruptions in satellite, GPS and phone signals, scientists also gave the date of the solar storm. Here are the details!
Solar storm will occur on Wednesday, August 3
High-velocity solar winds from a hole in the Sun’s atmosphere will strike Earth’s magnetic field, triggering a small G-1 class geomagnetic storm, according to scientists. They also said that this storm will occur on Wednesday, August 3rd. The colors that will appear in the sky due to electrical fluctuations will appear in Canada and Alaska.
A G-1 storm is likely to cause many effects. These possibilities include attenuating power grid surges, potentially igniting auroras in satellites and regions around the Arctic. In addition, there is a possibility of impairing the wayfinding abilities of migrating animals.
The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration observed the geomagnetic storm that ‘gaseous material’ was flowing through a hole south of the Sun’s atmosphere. After all these forecasts, experts issued a storm warning. Mike Cook, who works in space weather operations, said the hole attracts solar winds, increasing its speed. He also said that we need to see if that happens in the next 24 to 48 hours.
In recent months, the solar system’s single star has produced multiple storms in the current cycle. Space weather experts predict that the cycle will peak by 2025. They also argue that solar storms, including solar flares and coronal mass ejections (CME), will increase.
Solar storms of normal intensity are not known to have a significant impact on human life and other species on the planet. However, experts note that in addition to electrical infrastructure, an extreme solar storm can pose a health hazard to living organisms. They even stated that some storms were strong enough to cause death.
So, what do you think about the solar storm? Do you think the storm will have an effect? You can share your views with us in the comments section.
