Magnetic storms will leave us alone, but not for long: scientists' forecast for the coming days.

Earth has been experiencing a strong magnetic storm for over a week. In the coming days, it is expected to temporarily decrease in intensity; however, the storm will resume on December 25, coinciding with Christmas.

A minor coronal mass ejection (CME) that erupted from the Sun on December 21 may impact Earth just before Christmas. However, it is not strong enough to trigger a full-scale magnetic storm, as reported by astrophysicists from the space weather research site Spaceweather.

At the same time, they noted that after several weeks of relatively low sunspot activity, the Sun is reminding us that the solar maximum is not yet over. Three large groups of sunspots are turning "face" towards Earth, spanning over 450,000 kilometers across the surface of the star.

"So far, these sunspots have not produced anything more powerful than low-level M1-class flares. However, this could be the calm before the storm," scientists warn.

Magnetic Storms on Earth from December 23 to 29

According to data from the Meteoagent website, which bases its forecasts on NOAA, TESIS satellite systems, and international meteorological laboratories worldwide, a 5-point high magnetic storm is expected on Earth on December 23.

However, from December 24 to 29, minimal solar activity is forecasted at 2-3 points.

As a reminder, earlier "Telegraph" reported on the expected weather in Ukraine on the eve of Christmas Eve, Christmas, and New Year.
