The Shamakhi Astrophysical Observatory named after N.Tusi of the Ministry of Science and Education announced the space weather and forecast.

Day.Az was told by the observatory that the number of spots on the surface of the Sun has increased, 67 spots are observed in 5 groups of spots, including a geo-effective coronal hole. Currently, the speed of the solar wind is 493 km/s, the maximum value of the interplanetary magnetic field is 4.83 nT, and in the radial direction it is 2.33 nT. Space weather is unstable and a G2 (moderate) hurricane is expected.

From November 7 to 13, there is an 80 percent chance of a Class C flare, a 20 percent chance of a Class M (R1-R2), and a 5 percent chance of a Class X (R3) flare.

It is expected that the electron flux with energy greater than 2 MeV will be at normal and moderate levels, and the proton flux with energy greater than 10 MeV will remain at the background level.

The geomagnetic field is expected to remain active on November 8 and 9 and then return to normal.
