Geomagnetic activity forecast: July 22, 2024
Geomagnetic activity on Monday, July 22, 2024, presents a tranquil scenario with a kIndex level of 3. During this period, magnetic disturbances in the Earth's atmosphere remain at a calming state. For individuals who are sensitive to variations in geomagnetic activity due to conditions like migraines, arthritis, or chronic ailments, the prevailing kIndex level of 3 is not expected to induce significant symptoms or discomfort, writes Meteostorms.
Conditions on Monday, July 22, 2024, with a kIndex level of 3, indicate a calm and stable magnetic environment. Such quiet geomagnetic conditions are unlikely to affect weather-sensitive individuals, including those with migraines or chronic conditions like arthritis. They can generally go about their daily routines without experiencing significant symptoms or discomfort.
According to Metoffice, here are currently eleven identified sunspot regions on the Sun's facing side, with new trailing spots emerging near the Sun's center and east. Despite solar prominence eruptions and westward ejections from active sunspot regions, no Earth-directed Coronal Mass Ejections (CMEs) were detected.
The solar wind remains in a slow regime within normal ranges. Consequently, geomagnetic indices mostly reflect calm conditions. The minor G1 geomagnetic storm forecast for July 23 is influenced by a CME from a south central 'filament eruption' on July 19, although other solar wind activities remain quiet.
No recent solar radiation storms were observed, but there remains a slight daily chance of S1 Minor level solar radiation storms if suitable X-ray flares occur from well-positioned western sunspots over the four-day forecast period.
Overall, while calm conditions are anticipated on July 22, weather conditions might see minor disturbances on July 23 due to the predicted G1 storm, which remains a low-level concern for most individuals.
Earlier, SSP reported that mildly dangerous geomagnetic activity expected this week after X class solar flare.
