The Sun has ejected new clouds toward Earth.
Multiple plasma ejections observed on the Sun over the past few days are set to result in at least two impacts on Earth on September 8 and 9—that is, tomorrow and the day after. This is indicated by data from space-based coronagraphs and the results of numerical modeling. Solar activity has been rising for several days, with nearly all solar flares accompanied by the ejection of large plasma clouds into space. Although most of these will miss Earth, calculations suggest that two or three clouds will strike the planet within the next 48 hours.
Calculations indicate that space weather conditions could be disrupted for at least three days, with the first changes in solar wind speed potentially detectable as early as this evening. Peak disturbances are expected overnight from Tuesday to Wednesday, when solar wind speeds will reach a maximum of approximately 700 km/s—nearly double current levels.
The current forecast for magnetic storms is moderate. Multiple prolonged geomagnetic disturbances are expected, with intermittent spikes reaching Level 1 and Level 2 (minor and moderate) magnetic storms. The probability of more severe storms during this period is currently considered low. However, solar activity persists, and any further plasma ejections could alter this assessment for the worse.
