[Regnum] A weak magnetic storm is observed on Earth on January 1, Mikhail Leus, a leading specialist at the Phobos weather center, reportedin the Telegram channel “Weather from the Chief.”
He noted that at 07:58 Moscow time, the Kr index, which reflects the level of disturbance of the planet's magnetosphere, reached five units. This means that a weak magnetic storm, class G1, has begun.
“According to forecasts, the magnetic storm will not intensify and will remain in the weak gradation, and will most likely end no later than midday,” Leus wrote.
On the evening of December 31, the geomagnetic field entered a slightly disturbed state, due to which the northern lights were observed in some regions of Russia, the forecaster added.
As reported by the Regnum news agency, on the morning of December 30, specialists recorded two powerful solar flares. Disturbances of the highest X-ray class were observed at 7:14 and 7:31 Moscow time in the western part of the solar disk. In connection with the powerful solar activity, the Solar Astronomy Laboratory of the Space Research Institute of the Russian Academy of Sciences predicted magnetic storms on Earth on December 31 and January 1.

Magnetic storm on Earth intensifies to G3 level
The magnetic storm that engulfed the Earth reached level G3, which is classified on a five-point scale as “strong.” This was reported on January 1 by the Institute of Applied Geophysics.
Information from the institution's representatives is provided by TASS. Disturbances in the geomagnetic field of such intensity can provoke failures in the functioning of power equipment. In particular, magnetic storms of G3 can lead to false triggering of safety systems or lead to overheating of oil transformers.
In addition, problems with satellite systems and radio communications are possible. Residents of mid-latitudes may observe the polar lights in the sky during G3 storms.
As reported by the Regnum news agency, on the morning of December 29, a powerful X-class flare occurred on the Sun. Scientists stated that they had been observing an increase in the activity of this celestial body for about a week. During this time, the number of solar flares almost doubled.
On the morning of December 30, specialists registered two more powerful solar flares. Class X disturbances were recorded at 07:14 and 07:31 Moscow time in the western part of the solar disk. The solar astronomy laboratory of the IKI RAS warned of magnetic storms on Earth on December 31 and January 1.
On the morning of January 1, leading specialist at the Phobos weather center Mikhail Leus reported that a magnetic storm of class G1 (“weak”) was observed on Earth.
