[Regnum] A magnetic storm was registered on Earth on the night of May 29 and has been going on without interruption for 17 hours. This was announced bySolar Astronomy Laboratory of IKI and ISISP RAS.
“Unfortunately, despite the fact that there were several decreases in activity during the day, and despite the associated expectations of global stabilization of the situation, in fact, the magnetic storm that began today at 3 a.m. Moscow time has not been interrupted once and continues without stopping at the moment,” the publication notes.
"If your magnetic storm lasts more than 15 hours, see a Doctor"
Experts specified that as of 20:20 Moscow time on May 29, the storm had lasted for more than 17 hours in a row, reaching G3 (strong storm). It is noted that there is no trend towards a decrease in the storm's intensity, but at the moment the indicators are holding around the average level.
Earlier, Regnum News Agency reported that a strong magnetic storm of a level close to G3 began on Earth on the morning of Thursday, May 29. The storm was registered against the background of a noticeable increase in geomagnetic activity, which became known the day before after the formation of new large coronal holes in the Sun's atmosphere.
Scientists have clarified that the Earth will remain in a zone of increased solar wind speed until the end of this week, and during this time the risks of storms and geomagnetic disturbances will be increased.
