The next magnetic storm will cover our planet on April 27, but it will be much weaker. It is predicted to cause only a minor aurora in the upper atmosphere..

A magnetic storm will be the result of a coronal mass ejection that left the Sun on April 23.

Magnetic storms are disturbances of the Earth's geomagnetic field with different duration and intensity..

They are associated with the streams of charged particles that the Sun throws out.. Magnetic storms can cause disruptions in communication, as well as affect the well-being of the elderly and weather-dependent people.. In particular, they may experience headache, dizziness, nausea, joint pain, fatigue, insomnia.

Recall that on April 21, the Earth was reached by a “slow” coronal mass ejection. Usually such plasma flows take several days to reach the Earth, this one flew to the planet for a week.
