A strong solar storm is expected to impact Earth’s magnetic field from June 1 through June 3, bringing elevated radiation levels, radio dropouts, and the possibility of spectacular aurora displays. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s Space Weather Prediction Center has classified the episode as G4, the second-highest level on its five-step geomagnetic scale. Power operators, satellite controllers, and frequent flyers should take precautions, including unplugging non-essential electronics and using backup systems, to minimize potential disruptions. As researchers refine models post-storm, the warning remains: stay informed, stay prepared, and enjoy the stunning displays of the aurora if conditions permit.
