Magnetic storm does not threaten Volgograd on September 21, 2026

On Monday, September 21, the KP index dropped to 1 point out of 9 possible. According to the portal “Gizmeteo”, such geostrikes were observed with the onset of early morning. In the coming hours, the geomagnetic environment will not change.

Only by 10:00 the geomagnetic calm will be completed. At this time, the KP index will increase to 2 points. Such geo-attacks will continue in the afternoon. A magnetic storm is not expected on September 21.

On the eve of the index of flash activity was 1.1 points out of 10 possible. Specialists of the laboratory of the Institute of Space Research of the Russian Academy of Sciences stressed that over the past day astrophysics did not record energy emissions on the Sun.

But by the morning of September 20, two low-power explosions occurred on the Sun. These outbreaks are class C. Solar activity increased sharply to 2.7 points and is now in the yellow zone.

In recent days, the flash activity index was most often in the green zone and was 0 points. The emergence of new emissions may be a harbinger of a new magnetic storm. At the same time, according to experts, powerful geostrikes can cover the Earth in the last week of September.

The speed of the solar wind decreased to 358 km / s and corresponds to the usual values. Interplanetary magnetic field induction and solar flux density do not exceed standard values.
