Geomagnetic storm to occur

On June 4, solar activity will be high. A geomagnetic storm will occur.

According to the report from the Department of Astrophysics at the Faculty of Physics of Baku State University (BSU), in addition to the regular C-class (weak) flares occurring on the Sun’s surface, M-class (R1-R2-weak-moderate) flares and coronal mass ejections (CME) have taken place.

As a result, it is predicted that the plasma mass will pass near Earth by the middle of June.

It has been reported that a G1-level geomagnetic storm with a Kp index of 5 will occur after 15:00 on June 4. This will continue until the morning hours of June 5. Around midnight (between 00:00 and 03:00 on June 5), the intensity of the storm is predicted to reach a Kp index of 6.

After 09:00 on June 5, the geomagnetic storm will return to a quiet background level. There is a possibility that the process may affect satellites in near-Earth orbit.
