California: After Hurricane Helen, Hurricane Milton hit the United States, which is in crisis, and the solar flare has become more frightening. The US Department of Meteorology has warned that a powerful solar storm from the sun last day could disrupt power grids in the United States, the news agency AP reported. Many parts of the state of Florida, hit by Hurricane Milton, were already experiencing power outages following the storm.
A warning issued by the US National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration says that a strong geomagnetic effect is possible on Thursday and Friday. This comes as the solar storm continues to intensify this week. A geomagnetic storm may temporarily cause power outages and radio signal problems in parts of the US. Therefore, NOAA's recommendation says that power plants and space probes should make preparations.
The geomagnetic effect that reached the Earth's atmosphere following a solar storm caused a fascinating aurora in the US states, including California.
Solar storms are caused by large-scale explosions on the Sun's surface. This will be followed by a large flow of energetic particles, including towards the Earth. While these cause auroras, they also disrupt radio signals, power grids, and navigation signals including GPS. A marathon effect of intense solar storms is visible this week. Due to this India is also cautious. ISRO has confirmed that necessary preparations are being made. Solar storms do not usually cause any direct problems for humans.
