Scientists predict strong magnetic storms on Earth on September 2

Earth is preparing for an encounter with solar plasma, which will cause serious magnetic disturbances. As reported by the Telegram channel of the solar astronomy laboratory of the Space Research Institute of the Russian Academy of Sciences, an M2.76 level flare occurred on the Sun, resulting in a powerful plasma ejection heading toward our planet.

"According to data from the LASCO and CCOR-1 space coronagraphs, a solar plasma ejection toward Earth has been confirmed following the M2.76 flare... The direction of movement and angular dimensions of the plasma cloud eliminate the possibility of it passing by the planet. Preliminarily, the solar matter will reach Earth's orbit during Tuesday, September 2, causing G2-G4 level magnetic storms," the message states.

Of particular concern to specialists is the probability of repeated ejections. Scientists warn: "The main danger at present is posed by repeated ejections, which are highly likely given the high estimates of the Sun's total flare energy reserves. This is exactly how the situation developed in May 2024, when the highest level magnetic storms that occurred for the first time in 20 years were caused not by a single large explosion, but by a series of consecutive medium-sized mass ejections."
