The sun is relentless: what intensity can we expect from the magnetic storm at the end of the workweek?

The Earth continues to experience a prolonged magnetic storm, which is expected to last until the end of the current work week. Astrometeorologists are also warning about new solar flares.

As scientists from the space weather research site Spaceweather state, minor geomagnetic storms of class G1 are possible on November 7, when a coronal mass ejection (CME) will impact the Earth's magnetic field.

At the same time, according to NOAA and NASA models, only a small portion of the CME will affect our planet, leading scientists to lean more towards the possibility of a miss. Consequently, the likelihood of a magnetic storm is low.

Meanwhile, NOAA meteorologists have detected a new sunspot that has a 35% chance of triggering an X-class flare as early as November 6.

"Numbered AR3883 and AR3886, which contain extremely complex active regions. The back group (3886) resembles a 'shotgun blast' more than a typical sunspot, with more than 10 scattered dark cores. The magnetic fields of mixed polarity that arise between these cores can easily connect and explode.", the site explained.

Magnetic storms on Earth from November 6-10

As stated on the Meteoagent resource, currently, on November 6, our planet is experiencing a 5-point geomagnetic storm. It will persist into November 7. However, by November 8, the intensity of the magnetic storm will drop to 3 points, indicating minimal solar activity. No fluctuations are expected over the weekend either.

Let us remind you that earlier "Telegraph" reported on the expected weather in November in Ukraine.
