Solar activity forecast: what to expect from magnetic storms on July 4-6
In the coming days, we can anticipate a period of high solar activity with potential magnetic storms on July 4-6. This forecast has been provided by SSP.
Geomagnetic storms are categorized by a power level known as the K-index, ranging from 2 to 9. The intensity of the storm, along with its potential consequences and impact on individuals and equipment, increases as the K-index rises.
On Thursday, July 4, a significant magnetic storm is anticipated, with a K-index measuring 5, indicating a red alert level. This means that individuals who are sensitive to changes in weather conditions may be affected. The storm is expected to maintain this strength on Friday and Saturday, July 5-6.
Keep in mind that the forecast is subject to change as solar researchers continually update their data every three hours. Therefore, it is recommended to stay tuned for any potential updates or alterations to the forecast.
