For the next few days, you are likely to experience power fluctuations, signal problems, GPS outages, poor radio reception, and so on. Several large sunspots have appeared on the Sun, from which a large number of energetic particles with the potential to cause a geomagnetic storm are released towards the Earth. And it is precisely these energetic particles that are supposed to reach the Earth tomorrow, with the fact that they will flow here to a greater extent until Saturday.

The solar wind "blows" from the sun in the form of energetic particles that have the potential to interfere with the functionality of terrestrial electronics. According to scientists This could happen in the coming days, when the strongest "currents" should hit the Earth, while the influx of particles will weaken in the following days. Specifically, on Sunday, May 18, we should expect a weaker electromagnetic storm on Earth. If this is the case, you may encounter problems with electronics in these days, for example in the form of GPS outages and interference or momentary radio signal outages. So it is good to expect similar problems. However, a stronger solar wind will blow tomorrow, and therefore on Monday and Tuesday.

However, in all the bad (if the risk of certain problems with electronics can be called bad), there is also something good to be found – in this case, significantly stronger auroras. So it is possible that you will remember this geomagnetic storm more for watching the auroras than for electronics failures.
