The Solar Astronomy Laboratory of the Institute of Space Research of the Russian Academy of Sciences recorded a powerful solar flare, which was assigned the highest score of X 1.1. The explosion occurred almost exactly on the Sun-Earth line, in the area of maximum impact on the planet.

The flare was accompanied by a large ejection of plasma masses towards the Earth.

Today, several coronal holes have merged into one giant coronal hole, 20 times the size of the Earth, shown in the image above. Flows from it, according to calculations, will reach the Earth by Tuesday-Wednesday.

Scientists warn that magnetic storms may cause problems with radio communications, the operation of Earth satellites, and electric grids planet-wide.

Doctors recommend not to tire yourself with physical activity on such days, monitor your blood pressure, get enough sleep and eat right. Foods rich in magnesium and potassium will help cope with the negative effects of magnetic storms.

NOAA has issued a minor (G1-class) geomagnetic storm watch for April 4th when a stream of solar wind is expected to graze Earth's magnetic field.

Pretty minor compared to what we were facing a couple weeks ago.
