[Regnum] By the evening of October 10, the strongest magnetic storm in the last six months is expected, scientist, head of the Laboratory of Solar Astronomy (IKI) of the Russian Academy of Sciences, Doctor of Physical and Mathematical Sciences Sergei Bogachev told IA Regnum.

"This is a level four storm on a five-point scale. This is a strong event, to the point that there is a 10-20% chance of a category four storm," the expert said.

The scientist emphasized that these geomagnetic events will continue for at least two days. Thursday, Friday, and Saturday will be difficult days. Bogachev also indicated the approximate time of the magnetic storm's onset.

"Specifically today, a noticeable flare on the Sun, which threw large clouds of plasma towards the Earth at high speeds, which should arrive at the Earth. The earliest arrival boundaries were set for midday, then approximately at 17-18 hours," the scientist reported.

Bogachev explained that the forecast of magnetic storms also implies the forecast of the polar lights. There is a 60-70% probability of the appearance of the polar lights in Moscow and St. Petersburg.

As reported by IA Regnum, a large cloud of plasma caused by a solar flare is approaching the Earth. Most likely, it will cause magnetic storms.
