Intense magnetic storm on Earth and its consequences

On Saturday, November 5, a strong magnetic storm occurred on Earth caused by magnetic flares on the Sun. This event, recorded by the Institute of Applied Geophysics, had significant consequences and attracted the attention of scientists and weather-dependent people.

The peak of the magnetic storm and its levels

The greatest intensity of the magnetic disturbance reached the G3 level, which is a high indicator. The value of G5 is considered extreme, while G1 is the minimum level. Although this storm did not reach a record level, recall that the storm in April of this year peaked at G4, which had not been previously observed for several years. In addition, the last G5-level storm was recorded on September 11, 2005.

Consequences for communication and operability of equipment

These intense magnetic disturbances led to temporary interruptions in communications and equipment operation on Monday. This may affect various devices and may cause problems for weather-dependent people. However, by evening, geomagnetic activity will begin to weaken, which will mitigate the effects of the storm.

The intense magnetic storm that occurred on Earth has left its mark. Despite some problems with communication and the operation of equipment, it is expected that the situation will stabilize by the evening. These magnetic storms are a complex and amazing phenomenon of nature, and their study helps scientists to better understand the interaction between the Sun and the Earth.
