A strong magnetic storm is heading toward Earth on August 27–28
On August 27, geomagnetic activity on Earth will intensify, and by evening it may reach the level of a weak magnetic storm. On August 28, disturbances may become stronger, though space weather forecasts are regularly updated.
Geomagnetic activity is measured on a scale from 0 to 9. The planetary K-index is used for classification; a reading of 5 or higher indicates a strong magnetic storm.
On Thursday, August 27, solar activity with a K-index of 4.7 (yellow level) is expected, corresponding to moderate magnetic storms.
On Friday, August 28, solar activity with a K-index of 5.7 (red level) is expected, which corresponds to strong magnetic storms capable of affecting human health and well-being.
It is important to note that magnetic storm forecasts may change, as solar activity researchers update their data every three hours. Therefore, we recommend regularly monitoring these changes

As a reminder, traces of a missing planet the size of the Moon may have been found in the Solar System.
