Solar Storm Alert: Geomagnetic Storm Expected To Hit Earth Today

A geomagnetic storm is expected today due to a recent coronal mass ejection from the Sun, potentially causing communication disruptions and stunning auroras in higher latitudes.

Space weather forecasters are predicting a potential geomagnetic storm that could impact Earth, following a recent powerful solar event on Tuesday (June 4). Experts warned of a coronal mass ejection (CME) from the Sun, triggered by a double solar flare classified as X1-M7.

A CME is a massive release of plasma and magnetic fields from the Sun’s outer atmosphere, travelling through space at high speeds. These charged particles, when they interact with Earth’s magnetic field, can cause geomagnetic storms. While this weekend’s storm is expected to be less severe than previous extreme events, it could still lead to moderate geomagnetic disturbances around June 4 (today).

The Sun is currently nearing the peak of its 11-year activity cycle, known as the solar maximum, marked by increased solar flares and sunspots. This phase is more prone to intense space weather events, including CMEs, which can affect our planet in various ways.
