Later today, Feb. 27th, a co-rotating interaction region (CIR) is expected to hit Earth’s magnetic field. CIRs are shock-like structures at the leading edge of solar wind streams. There’s a 50% chance of G1-class geomagnetic storms today, increasing to 55% tomorrow as the solar wind behind the CIR surrounds our planet. Arctic auroras could descend to northern-tier US states such as Maine, Minnesota, and Michigan.
A spokesperson at the organisation said: “A large hole in the Sun’s atmosphere is facing Earth and sending a stream of solar wind in our direction. Minor G1-class geomagnetic storms are likely when the gaseous material arrives on Feb. 27th and 28th. Solar wind speeds could top 500 km/s (1.1 million mph), sparking auroras around the Arctic Circle and possibly even in US states along a line from Maine to Washington.”
It is widely believed solar storms are one of the “biggest threats” to mankind.
They can cause massive problems for power supplies – triggering blackouts that could prove fatal.
