Taiwan issues geomagnetic storm alert

Описание: Taiwan’s Central Weather Administration (CWA) has issued a geomagnetic storm alert from Friday to Saturday following a major coronal mass ejection (CME) from the Sun on Wednesday.

The storm, expected to last around 33 hours from 5 a.m. Friday, is forecast to reach moderate intensity.

It may cause brief interruptions to satellite navigation and radio communications, trigger false alarms in protective systems, and increase drag on low-orbit satellites.

Auroras could also be visible in areas at magnetic latitudes as low as 50 degrees.
