If the plasma ejection that occurred on July 21 reaches Earth on July 24, there is a possibility of a G1 (weak) geomagnetic storm.

As reported by Day.Az, this was reported by the Shamakhi Astrophysical Observatory named after N. Tusi.

It was noted that during the reporting period, solar activity increased relatively, and M-class flares were recorded during the week.

The maximum X1.9 flare was recorded in region 3738. On the solar surface, the number of spots decreased slightly, with 200 spots in 13 groups. Several coronal mass ejections (CMEs) with Earth-directed components were recorded during the week.

During the reporting period, the geomagnetic field was calm. There were no geomagnetic storms. Currently, the Kp index is 1.5, space weather is calm.
