According to the portal earth.com, an “X” category flash occurred on Monday in the extremely active region of the sunspots, which has the code name AR3663.
The X-category flash in region AR3663 lasted regarding 25 minutes,” wrote solar physicist Keith Strong on the X platform.
Flashes of the same category were also recorded on Sunday.
It has been announced that a geomagnetic storm is expected on Monday – it is a disruption of the Earth’s magnetic field caused by solar flares.
According to meteoagent.com, on Monday, May 6, the activity of the magnetic field will reach six points. The strength of geomagnetic storms is assessed on a scale of nine points – the closer to nine points, the more likely that healthy people will feel the effects of magnetic storms.
According to doctors, geomagnetic storms affect people with chronic diseases more.
In addition, we announce that solar storms may disrupt rail traffic. Allegedly, train delays and accidents are possible due to “powerful magnetic disturbances”. Because researchers at Lancaster University determined that solar storms can “change the red signal to green, which is very important when we talk regarding safety”.
However, lead researcher Cameron Patterson said that space weather events that might cause malfunctions such as those in the UK were expected every few decades.
But Network Rail said the risk was “very low”.
Solar storms can cause powerful magnetic disturbances on Earth, resulting in geomagnetically induced currents that can disrupt electrical power transmission.
Space weather can affect power grids, and in 1989 they caused power outages for millions of people in Quebec. in 1859 A powerful solar flare caused a geomagnetic storm that disrupted telegraph lines around the world.
