Solar Storm

The organization classed the storm as G3, which is considered strong, and said that activity from the storm will last from April 10 to April 12. The storm scale goes up to G5 and at its strongest can cause blackouts as electricity grids collapse, satellite navigation to go down and other major electrical problems.It is also expected that these storms could cause auroras like the Northern Lights. As a result of the solar storm, the aurora borealis could be visible in the north of Ireland tonight if skies are clear. Two major sunspot regions (2993 and 2994) have now rotated onto the earth-facing solar disk.
