Scientists have warned that on Friday, June 2, a magnetic storm could cover the Earth. She will be the first this month.

According to the space weather tracking website Spaceweather, the magnetic storm will be caused by a stream of solar wind that was thrown out by a pair of holes in the Sun.. It is noted that it will be weak, category G1.

The site also reports that a new spot has appeared on the Sun. It made itself felt on May 31, throwing out an M4 class flash. The release of ultraviolet radiation from the flare ionized the Earth's atmosphere and led to a short-term radio outage over the Pacific Ocean.. The center of the blackout region was almost exactly over Hawaii.

Spot AR3323 is turning towards the Earth and continues to grow. Scientists expect it could be the source of new outbreaks.

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, a “slow” coronal mass ejection reached the Earth.. Usually such plasma flows take several days to reach the Earth, this one flew to the planet for a week.
