On the morning of June 2, a level 6 magnetic storm on a 10-point scale occurred in mid-latitudes, the Department of Astrophysics of Baku State University (BSU) told APA.
It was noted that after 09:00, the strength of the storm would decrease to level 5, and after 12:00 to level 4. Magnetic storms rated below level 5 are considered to have little impact on Earth.
Expected strength of the storm
It was reported that after 9:00, the strength of the storm will be level 5, and after 12:00, it will be level 4. Storms below level 5 have little impact on Earth.
Progress of magnetic storms
At high latitudes:
The strength of the magnetic storm is expected to be level 6–7 on the 10-point scale until 12:00, level 3–4 by the end of the day, and level 5–6 between 03:00 and 12:00 on June 3.
At mid-latitudes:
After 15:00 on June 2, magnetic field indicators are expected to return to background levels.
The source of storms
The magnetic storms were identified based on images taken by the STEREO and LASCO coronagraphs of solar flares. A coronal mass ejection that occurred on May 31 passed near Earth and caused the magnetic storm.
