G-2 class geomagnetic storm brewing today; check what's happening
A stream of solar winds is reportedly traveling towards Earth and if they strike, they will create perfect conditions for a geomagnetic storm event. Experts are saying that a G-2 class geomagnetic storm is likely. While that is not really a powerful storm event, it will still have an impact.
A geomagnetic storm can cause immense damage, but only if it is powerful enough. This may include disruption in the electronic infrastructure like GPS and radio communications. It can also cause blackouts, failure of satellites, and more. (Pexels)

As informed by SpaceWeather.com, “NOAA forecasters say there is a chance of G2-class geomagnetic storms today, Nov. 7th, when the subsiding effects of Sunday's CME might overlap with an incoming solar wind stream. Earth's magnetosphere is already humming with G1-class activity, and it won't take much to push it across the threshold to G2” (Pixabay)

The report by spaceweather.com also revealed that on November 6, two CMEs hit the Earth and caused a G-3 class geomagnetic storm. It was expected that one of the CMEs could have been a cannibal CME. However, it is not confirmed yet. Another report from the same source informed that two CMEs on November 4 and November 5 hit the Earth and they caused G-3 class geomagnetic storm with auroras in Colorado and Texas. (Pixabay)

NOAA monitors solar storms and the Sun's behavior using its DSCOVR satellite so that the geomagnetic storms can be predicted in time. The recovered data from the satellite is run through the Space Weather Prediction Center and the final analysis is prepared. These data are used to provide daily weather forecasts, severe storm warnings, climate monitoring, and more. (Pixabay)
