A solar storm is heading towards Earth and may affect communication channels on Friday, warn experts in the United Arab Emirates (UAE). The storm, caused by a massive eruption on the Sun’s surface, has the potential to disrupt communication satellites, power grids and other electronic systems.
According to reports, the solar storm is expected to hit the Earth’s magnetic field on Friday, causing disruptions to communication channels such as mobile phones, GPS systems and internet connections. However, experts have assured that the impact is likely to be limited and that the storm will not cause any serious damage.
The UAE’s National Centre of Meteorology (NCM) has been monitoring the solar storm closely and has issued a warning to the public. The centre has advised people to avoid using electronic devices during the storm and to keep their devices charged in case of power outages.
The NCM has also assured that the UAE’s communication networks are equipped to handle such disruptions and that the country’s emergency services are on standby in case of any issues.
Solar storms are a natural phenomenon that occur when the Sun’s magnetic field lines become twisted and release energy in the form of a coronal mass ejection (CME). These CMEs can contain billions of tons of charged particles that are hurled towards Earth at incredible speeds.
While solar storms can cause disruptions to communication systems and power grids, they also have the potential to create beautiful auroras in the night sky. In fact, the NCM has advised people to take advantage of the storm by looking out for the auroras.
In conclusion, the solar storm heading towards Earth may cause disruptions to communication channels on Friday, but experts have assured that the impact is likely to be limited. The public is advised to stay informed and take necessary precautions during the storm.
