According to the report, the first of the recorded events occurred at 1:39 AM (M4.2 level), and the second at 3:02 AM (M2.2), Moscow time.
Modeling indicates that a medium-sized plasma cloud ejected into space as a result of the flares may graze Earth on the night of January 1.
Scientists note that the highest probability of observing auroras is expected in the northwestern regions of Russia, such as Murmansk, Arkhangelsk, the Republic of Karelia, Leningrad Oblast, and St. Petersburg. At the same time, the probability for the central regions of the country remains low, as the event is of medium strength and is moving away from the central areas.
