It has become known how many magnetic storms will occur by the end of the year

In 2025, up to 50 magnetic storms may occur on Earth, Russian physicist Roman Kucherov told NEWS.ru. According to him, the upcoming year will be particularly active in terms of solar activity, which will lead to an increase in the number of geomagnetic disturbances, including extreme ones.

"In normal years, about 30-35 storms of medium intensity occur, but during periods of increased solar activity, their number can reach 50," Kucherov explained. He noted that strong storms can disrupt electrical equipment and even cause auroras in tropical latitudes.

The scientist recalled the "Carrington Event" of 1859 - the most powerful magnetic storm in the history of observations, which caused serious disruptions in telegraph communications and unusual atmospheric phenomena.

Kucherov explained that magnetic storms occur due to solar flares: a stream of charged particles collides with Earth's magnetosphere, causing it to fluctuate. Such disturbances can last from several hours to several days. According to the physicist, such phenomena have occurred throughout human history and will continue to be observed as long as the Sun exists.
