Earth will suffer dozens of magnetic storms in 2018, including two to four mega-magnetic storms.

According to the Russian Ministry of Emergency Situations, the All-Russian Center for Natural and Technical Emergency Monitoring and Forecasting predicts that the Earth will suffer dozens of magnetic storms in 2018, including two or four mega-magnetic storms.
according to information obtained by the satellite news agency: "It is expected that 20-35 magnetic storms, including large magnetic storms and mega-magnetic storms, will occur in 2018.
the chance of a super-magnetic storm is about 5%.
NASA's solar observation satellite, the Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO), captured two huge "black spots" on the sun's surface.
these giant dark spots, also known as "crown holes," are caused by magnetic particles on the sun's surface that are blown out of space by the sun's wind, causing some areas to appear darker.
this is the first time a large area of "coronal holes" has appeared on the sun's surface after the SDO satellite captured a large black area near the sun's south pole in January.

"Increased electronic flux is likely to be the most dangerous factor in space weather next year,"
forecast also stresses.
" 29 geomagnetic storms were recorded between January 1 and December 1, 2017, including one each for large magnetic storms, according to the center.
had previously reported that a third magnetic storm on Earth in 2018 would hit on March 18.
had previously recorded a weak magnetic storm on February 19, and the first was on January 15.
