The recent solar flare, registered by NOAA, occurred in early November and was classified as an M-class flare. Flares of this class are capable of causing geomagnetic disturbances, but their strength is lower than that of X-class flares. However, the coronal mass ejection (CME) that accompanied this flare is directed partially towards the Earth and can cause a disturbance in the planet's magnetic field.
Potential impacts for weather-sensitive people: On days with increased geomagnetic activity, especially November 12 and 13, some people may experience symptoms such as headaches, fatigue, irritability, and changes in blood pressure. It is important to take these days into account and reduce physical and emotional stress to minimize the impact.
Increased solar activity will increase the likelihood of auroras at lower latitudes than usual. Observers at high latitudes, especially in northern regions, can expect beautiful light shows at night. Thus, the forecast for the week will be relevant in light of recent solar activity. The flare and coronal mass ejection will affect the geomagnetic environment, especially in the first half of the week, causing minor magnetic storms and possibly an increase in the number and brightness of auroras.
