A solar storm will hit the Earth's magnetic field hard today
Sometimes these solar storms affect Earth communications, and in extreme cases they can affect electrical systems, and they will also be stronger boreal auroras.
The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration of the United States (NOAA) has declared that the solar storm that is hitting the Earth these days is' severe 'and will hit the Earth's magnetic field today, and therefore communications have been sent to critical infrastructure operatorsto try to mitigate possible adverse effects.
The alert levels set by the NOAA Space Climate Prediction Center are between "G1" (lower) and "G5" (extreme), and today's fixed levels have reached "G4" (severe) alert. The geomagnetic storm occurs precisely when particles emitted by the Sun hit the Earth's electromagnetic field.
Sometimes these solar storms affect Earth communications,they can only affect electrical systems in extreme cases eta, and they also cause more intensity in northern lights.
NOAA has reported through social media and on its website that the 'heart' of the solar storm that began a few days ago at lower alert levels is currently passing over the Earth and will continue to do so in the next few hours.
The storm is expected to reach maximum intensity today and the NOAA has raised the alert level to 'G4' (severe).
The American organism has explained that the magnetic force of storm passage has stabilized approximately 8 times, but has indicated that this intensity is serious enough to reach "sharp" levels if the magnetic field rotates in the opposite direction to the Earth.
This orientation may vary as the storm progresses, which would lead to different levels of activity, according to the NOAA, which has specified that two out of three planned solar storms are affecting the Earth.
Meteorologists at this institution have estimated that the last and strongest of these solar storms have not yet affected the Earth and could hit the Earth around 17:00 GMT today . They have specified that disturbances in the Earth's magnetic field vary in intensity (between low and high levels) during the storm.
