The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) issued a Geomagnetic Storm Alert on Sunday afternoon, March 24 after the G4 electromagnetic storm had developed. The storm warning is in effect until 11 a.m. Monday, March 25.
The event was sparked by solar eruptions that sent plasma toward Earth.
A geomagnetic storm is a major disturbance in Earth's magnetic field, often varying in intensity between lower levels and severe storm conditions over the course of the event.
Those who use high-frequency radio signals may experience a temporary degradation or complete loss of signal “on much of the sunlit side of Earth,” the NOAA NWS Space Weather Prediction Center said. “The general public need not be concerned.”
Auroras, both Northern and Southern Lights, could develop as a result of the geomagnetic storm, according to earth.com.
