On Sunday, Earth experienced the most potent solar storm in nearly six years, resulting in a significant disturbance in the planet's magnetic field.
Following the solar storm, NOAA's Space Weather Prediction Center issued a geomagnetic storm watch, which remained active through Monday.
Despite initial intensity, conditions around the storm are showed signs of weakening, as reported by NOAA's Space Weather Prediction Center in Boulder, Colorado.
The G3 (Moderate) geomagnetic storm watch remained in effect, although the intensity is diminishing. The watch is expected to downgrade to G1 (Minor) storm levels by the end of the UT day.
The outburst from a solar flare associated with the storm could have disrupt radio transmissions on Earth, according to space weather forecasters.
Despite potential disruptions, the solar storms could provide a spectacular display of auroras, offering a unique viewing opportunity for sky gazers.
NOAA's Space Weather Prediction Center assured the public that there is no need for alarm regarding the geomagnetic storm, emphasizing that it is a natural phenomenon.
Solar storms occur periodically, coinciding with the sun's magnetic field flip every 11 years. Currently, the sun is near its most active phase known as the solar maximum, increasing the frequency of geomagnetic storms like the recent one.
