In May 2024, the Earth experienced a significant increase in geomagnetic activity due to a series of powerful solar storms. These storms were marked by high-intensity coronal mass ejections (CMEs) that erupted from the sun, leading to dramatic disturbances in Earth’s magnetic field. This period of heightened solar activity was among the most impactful since the infamous Halloween solar storms of 2003, which had previously disrupted technology and influenced natural phenomena. The auroras, or northern lights, became a prominent visual feature during this time, with reports indicating their visibility in regions where they are seldom seen, such as the southern United States and various countries across Europe.Scientists and researchers took keen interest in these solar storms to understand and predict their potential effects better. The technology-dependent modern world faces significant risks from such solar activity, as geomagnetic storms can disrupt electrical grids, satellite operations, and communication systems. The space weather monitoring agencies across the globe heightened their vigilance during this solar storm outbreak, disseminating real-time updates and warnings to aviation and maritime sectors to mitigate risks associated with disruptions. Understanding and preparing for these storms is crucial for safeguarding technology and infrastructure against the unpredictable nature of space weather.
