The displays are caused when electrons from solar winds hit the Earth's magnetosphere, which protects Earth from charged particles from space. There is at least one beautiful result of solar storms: G1 storms also result in aurora displays across the night sky. Stock image of an illustration of a solar flare. G2-level (possibly G3) conditions may occur if the magnetic field of this storm is oriented southward!" she tweeted.Ī geomagnetic solar storm is forecasted for July 20 to July 22 due to slow moving solar winds. "The magnetic orientation of this Earth-directed #solarstorm is going to be tough to predict.
Tamitha Skov, it might end up being more powerful. However, according to a tweet from space weather researcher Dr. It is the weakest form of solar storm on the scale, which ranges between G1 and G5. On July 19, parts of North America got the chance to see the northern lights in lower latitudes than usual thanks to a solar storm and now another solar storm is due to hit Earth on July 20.Īccording to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), solar winds caused by two recently observed holes in the Sun's corona will arrive between July 20-22, resulting in a G1 geomagnetic storm.Ī G1 geomagnetic storm is caused by solar winds hitting the Earth's magnetic field and may result in power grid fluctuations, interruptions to satellite operations and the storm could also cause changes to the behavior of migratory animals.
