A weak magnetic storm will persist on Earth. Meanwhile, the Sun has produced a significant flare, resulting in a coronal mass ejection (CME) being released into space. Astronomers have shared whether this will affect our planet.
At the end of the day on February 24, something, likely an active sunspot, erupted on the far side of the Sun. However, this flare will not impact the magnetic field of our planet, as reported by scientists from the space weather research site Spaceweather.
SOHO coronagraphs are monitoring a very bright CME originating from the explosion site. If it had reached Earth, it could have triggered a strong geomagnetic storm, but that will not happen.
At the same time, the site Meteoagent, which bases its forecasts on NOAA satellite systems, TESIS, and international meteorological laboratories worldwide, has updated its fluctuation chart. On Tuesday, February 25, a moderate magnetic storm with a level of 4 is expected on Earth. By Wednesday-Thursday, February 26-27, its activity will decrease to a "green" level.
However, this will be temporary, as a resurgence of the moderate magnetic storm at a level of 4 is anticipated from February 28 to March 2.
Recall that earlier "Telegraph" reported on the surprises the weather has in store for Ukrainians at the end of this month. Meteorologists predict localized wet snow.
