A strong geomagnetic storm may occur at the end of July.

Last night on the Sun there was a flare of the maximum level X1.5, which is among the strongest solar flares of the year and may cause an increase in geomagnetic activity, the report said.

Already next night, a weak magnetic storm of class G1 will start on Earth, which will increase during Tuesday, until it reaches class G3 in the afternoon, corresponding to a strong geomagnetic storm, according to the press release.

During Wednesday, the disturbance of the Earth’s magnetosphere will begin to gradually decrease, and the geomagnetic storm will end.

According to the solar astronomy laboratory of the Institute of Space Studies of the Russian Academy of Sciences, the probability of a geomagnetic storm is 25 percent on July 30 and 30 percent on July 31.

Currently, the Earth’s magnetosphere is quiet.

According to the chart, five low-level and seven medium-level flares occurred on the Sun on July 28; and on July 29, six low-level, one medium and one strong.
