The forecast of magnetic storms for the end of January has been updated: what to expect

Magnetic (geomagnetic) storms are short-term disturbances of the Earth's magnetic field and atmosphere. They are caused by flares of radiation and charged particles emitted by the Sun.

Today, January 28, a four-point storm is expected. It will reach the "orange level" of danger. And tomorrow, January 29, the Earth's geomagnetic field will be calm. The strength of the shocks will not exceed the "green level," meaning that the magnetic storms will be hardly noticeable to weather-dependent people and people with chronic diseases, Meteoagent reports.
