The U.S. National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's Space Weather Prediction Center (SWPC) has issued a severe geomagnetic storm (G4) alert , with disruptive conditions expected to persist until early morning on June 2, 2025 (UTC).
Thus, it is expected to continue impacting the Earth in the coming hours and until the early hours of June 2 (UTC), which may have various impacts on electrical grids, the global satellite system, radio communications, and producing the appearance of the northern and southern lights.
Power grids: Possible serious disturbances in power distribution networks.
Satellites: Difficulty operating satellites, with possible interruptions in navigation and communication.
Radio communications: Problems in high frequency (HF) radio communication, especially at high latitudes.
Auroras: The northern lights or southern lights may be observed at lower latitudes than usual, even in areas where they are not normally observed.
To stay informed in real time, we recommend following updates from official sources such as the NOAA SWPC. They are the leading authority on space weather prediction and monitoring.
It's important to remember that the Sun is in its "solar maximum" phase in the current cycle, which increases the frequency and intensity of solar events. Space agencies are continuously monitoring the star's activity to mitigate potential impacts.

NASA (National Aeronautics and Space Administration): NASA also closely monitors solar activity and collaborates with NOAA on predictions. Its space weather section offers detailed and educational information about solar phenomena.
You can search for press releases or articles in their "Space Weather" or "Heliophysics" sections. A general example of news related to the solar cycle: https://science.nasa.gov/solar-system/nasa-tracks-most-intense-solar-storm-in-decades/
European Space Agency (ESA): ESA also has programs monitoring space weather and its impacts. Its website provides information on how solar storms can affect satellites and ground-based infrastructure.
