This was reported by the Solar Astronomy Laboratory of the Space Research Institute of the Russian Academy of Sciences and the Institute of Solar-Terrestrial Physics of the Siberian Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences.
The laboratory announced that the storms are expected in the middle of the day, with a minimum intensity reaching level G1. The cause is likely a medium-level plasma emission from the Sun on January 6, passing near Earth.
It is noted that the forecast remains unstable due to a significant lateral move of the plasma cloud. The laboratory clarified that a slight move to the left could result in the cloud passing the planet without any geomagnetic impact, while a shift in the opposite direction could lead to a significant increase in geomagnetic fluctuations compared to initial calculations.
In addition, due to the appearance of a coronal hole on the side of the Sun facing Earth, the solar wind speed may increase moderately over the next two days, reported by tass.ru.
