ASIATODAY.ID, JAKARTA – The Indonesian Meteorology, Climatology and Geophysics Agency (BMKG) has detected that the phenomenon of a strong solar storm will hit Indonesian territory over the next three days so that all parties are asked to be aware of the impacts that accompany it.
Head of the BMKG Potential Geophysics Team, Syrojudin, said that this strong solar storm is at the G4 extreme index which will take place on October 11-13 2024.
“The peak of the storm will begin today, Friday, October 11 2024,” he said in Jakarta, Friday, October 11 2024.
As announced by the oceanic and atmospheric agency NOAA, the Sun’s explosion on Monday, October 7 2024, resulted in a G4 scale heavy magnetic storm on Earth. The explosion is a large eruption of electromagnetic radiation from the sun that lasts for several minutes – hours.
The results of the BMKG geophysics team’s analysis show that over the next three days Indonesia will feel the impact of solar storms such as significant disruption to internet networks, including those using satellite systems such as Starlink.
BMKG urges the public to be careful in activities or transactions using the internet network, radio-based communications during the solar storm period.
Then, BMKG advised drone pilots throughout Indonesia not to operate unmanned aircraft because of the potential for loss of control, and the accuracy of satellite-based positions such as GPS would also decrease.
“BMKG will periodically continue to update information on this solar storm phenomenon to the public based on measurable observations and analysis as a reference for safety in carrying out daily activities,” he added. (AT Network)
