A three-day magnetic storm has already covered the Earth: what is the danger for Ukrainians?
On April 26, the most powerful magnetic storm of the month began. It is caused by the penetration of coronal masses of the Sun into the charged atmosphere of the Earth.
Scientists say that a powerful geomagnetic storm can be dangerous not only for electrical appliances and power plant failure but also for airplanes and spacecraft. During such a period, people also complain of feeling unwell.
According to Meteoagent, the magnetic storm with a magnitude of 6 will last from April 26 to April 28 inclusive. The next two days will be quite calm, and outbreaks are preliminarily recorded at 2 points. That is, the danger level is low.
