Scientists noted that while maximum-level radiation storms or G4-class events are highly unlikely, a strong G3 category storm appears inevitable.<\/p>\n<p>The solar plasma ejection is expected to trigger the most powerful geomagnetic storm observed since March 2026. This activity follows two M-class solar flares recorded on June 30.<\/p>\n<p>According to the Institute of Applied Geophysics, the last time energy emissions of a similar class were recorded on June 21.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Strong G3-Class magnetic storm expected to hit Earth on Jul 2 AKIPRESS.COM &#8211; A strong G3-class magnetic storm&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":504192,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[7],"tags":[2300,6213,251508,229798,33618,13600,251510,251504,107937,251506,251509,111,43,251505,139,69,251507,8263,147],"class_list":["post-504191","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-science","tag-asia","tag-asian","tag-batken","tag-bishkek","tag-central-asia","tag-democracy","tag-issykkul","tag-kyrgyz","tag-kyrgyzstan","tag-kyrgyzya","tag-naryn","tag-new-zealand","tag-news","tag-news-agency","tag-newzealand","tag-nz","tag-osh","tag-reforms","tag-science"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/504191","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=504191"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/504191\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/504192"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=504191"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=504191"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=504191"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
