A magnetic storm has reached "red" level again, and there's a sunspot that is twice the size of Earth.

A long-lasting magnetic storm, which briefly reduced its activity, has once again reached a "red" level. Meanwhile, a sunspot is rapidly growing on the Sun, which could trigger a significant flare.

Just on Thursday, January 16, there was no sunspot 3964, but by Friday, January 17, its size had increased to that of two Earths. It is developing quickly and possesses an unstable magnetic field that could explode, causing a powerful solar flare, as reported by astrophysicists from the space weather research site Spaceweather.

If the spot erupts, the Earth will be in the impact zone.

Magnetic storms on Earth from January 17 to 19

As stated in the forecast by Meteoagent, which bases its predictions on satellite systems from NOAA, TESIS, and international meteorological laboratories worldwide, currently, on January 17, a strong magnetic storm of 5 points is affecting the Earth. On Saturday, January 18, its intensity will decrease to 4 points; however, the storm will not end.

On Sunday, January 19, there will be no geomagnetic fluctuations above 4 points, inclusive.

Earlier, "Telegraph" reported that in the coming days, winter will still invade some cities in Ukraine.
