NOAA Warns of Monday Geomagnetic Storm; Northern Lights Likely to Dazzle
March 25, 2024
The NOAA's Space Weather Prediction Center has issued a warning for a geomagnetic storm on Monday due to a solar flare.
A recent severe geomagnetic storm caused by a coronal mass ejection resulted in communication disruptions and voltage control issues.
The current storm has been downgraded and is expected to cause only minor disruptions, primarily affecting radio transmissions and high-frequency communications.
Infrastructure operators have been alerted to the possibility of satellite anomalies or GPS disruptions.
The public may notice effects such as an extended aurora borealis and slight communication delays.
The solar activity is part of the solar maximum phase, during which geomagnetic storms are more frequent, occurring a few times a year.
The storm provides an opportunity for people at higher latitudes to see the northern lights.
In related space news, NASA's Hubble has captured new images of stormy weather on Jupiter, including the 'Great Red Spot.'
