A magnetic storm continues to affect Earth. Scientists have shared when it is expected to come to an end.

A seven-point magnetic storm that persisted on December 30-31, 2024, has decreased in intensity to five points. Astrophysicists predict that it will last for another day – January 1.

Minor G1-class geomagnetic storms are likely on January 1, as the Earth passes through the trail of a coronal mass ejection (CME) that occurred on December 31, 2024. This was reported on the Spaceweather website.

Magnetic Storms on Earth from January 1-5

According to data from the Meteoagent website, which bases its forecasts on NOAA, TESIS satellite systems, and international meteorological laboratories worldwide, on January 1, a strong magnetic storm of 5 points is expected on Earth. By January 2, its intensity will decrease, and minimal solar activity is anticipated. Geomagnetic "calm" is expected from January 3 to 5, inclusive.

Previously, Telegraf reported on the expected weather in Ukraine on January 1 according to the forecast from the Ukrainian Hydrometeorological Center. Meteorologists stated that in some regions, a yellow level (I) of danger has been declared due to strong wind gusts.
