Experts from the Solar Astronomy Laboratory of IKI RAS and ISTP SB RAS warn that today, severe geomagnetic storms caused by two large coronal holes on the Sun may hit the Earth.
"According to the forecast, the solar wind speeds at their peak in the next 2-3 days will increase almost twofold in the vicinity of the Earth, from the current 350 km / s to about 700 km / s, and the impact itself will last at least until the end of the week, with the peak expected next weekend"
