Geomagnetic activity

A partial halo of coronal radiation caused by an M-class flare on December 31 contributed to increased geomagnetic activity. Active periods of STORM G1 are also expected.

When we will feel the impact

According to preliminary estimates, the most noticeable fluctuations in the magnetic field may be observed in the first half of the day and in the evening.

It is worth remembering that forecasts for magnetic storms may change, as solar activity researchers update their data every three hours.

In addition, recent information about the dates of magnetic storms in January 2026 has emerged.

Magnetic storms can affect the operation of electronics, compasses, and some natural phenomena. Therefore, it is important to follow updates and advice from meteorologists, especially if you plan outdoor activities or travel.
