Geomagnetic storm expected on October 2, 2025: possible consequences for the marine environment and communications

The Solar Astronomy Laboratory forecasts that moderate geomagnetic activity is likely on October 2, 2025: the probability of a magnetic storm is about 36%. This is related to changes on the Sun, causing an increase in solar wind speed up to 700 km/s and temperatures of interplanetary plasma.

Scientists warn that such conditions may affect the operation of ship navigation systems and communication devices, especially at high latitudes. Increased magnetic field activity can cause interference in electronics, disruptions in radio communications, and failures in satellite navigation systems. Mariners are advised to consider the possibility of disturbances in the magnetosphere, especially when using sensitive electronics and navigation equipment.

Although the forecasted storm falls into the moderate category, specialists emphasize the importance of monitoring space weather in the coming days and recommend that ship crews, airlines, and communication system operators be prepared for possible disruptions and take additional precautions.
