In November 2012, experts predicted 11 magnetic storms that could affect the operation of electronics and communications. Magnetic storms occur as a result of emissions from the Sun that cause changes in the Earth's magnetic field. These changes may cause electronic devices such as computers, cell phones, and other devices that use electromagnetic signals to malfunction.
Below is the schedule of magnetic storms for November 2012:
November 02 from 03:00 to 06:00
November 07 from 03:00 to 06:00
November 11 from 16:00 to 18:00
November 12 from 19:00 to 21:00
November 14 from 12:00 to 14:00
November 16 from 11:00 to 13:00
November 17 from 17:00 to 19:00
November 20 from 17:00 to 20:00
November 23 from 12:00 to 14:00
November 28 from 16:00 to 18:00
November 29 from 04:00 to 06:00
These magnetic storms are expected to be of moderate strength and not cause major problems. However, people who work with electronics and communications equipment are advised to be more careful and take extra precautions during these periods. For example, you can turn off electronic devices or use protective devices if possible.
Although magnetic storms are a natural phenomenon, they can have serious consequences for modern society, which depends on electronics and communications. Therefore, scientists are constantly working to improve methods for predicting magnetic storms and developing new technologies for more reliable protection against their effects.
