| Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited. [Regnum] A strong magnetic storm has begun on Earth. This was reported on April 16 by meteorologist and candidate of technical sciences Evgeny Tishkovets. "Two huge solar prominences reached the Earth and hit the magnetosphere. The cosmic impact caused a powerful magnetic storm, which will last intermittently until Thursday morning and could seriously affect the health of weather-sensitive people," Tishkovets wrote on his Telegram channel. The magnetic disturbance will last for 24 hours, its peak was on the morning of April 16 — level G3 and G2 — strong and medium storm. G2 and G1 — medium and weak storm — are expected on the night and in the morning of April 17. Tishkovets said that this configuration of the interplanetary magnetic field is favorable for the polar lights. "The highest probabilities of Aurora in recent months have been set for the night from Tuesday to Wednesday and the night from Wednesday to Thursday. Aurora is possible even in mid-latitudes," the meteorologist said. He added that a deterioration in shortwave radio communication conditions cannot be ruled out. As reported by IA Regnum, a less powerful magnetic storm was recorded on April 5. The level of magnetic disturbances reached 5.67 units. This level is higher than weak and slightly lower than average. As Vladimir Kuznetsov, Director of the Pushkov Institute of Terrestrial Magnetism, Ionosphere and Radio Wave Propagation of the Russian Academy of Sciences, previously told Regnum News Agency, a magnetic storm is accompanied by a change in atmospheric pressure. Therefore, people who depend on it may experience a deterioration in their health. But the negative impact of magnetic storms should not be exaggerated.
