On May 30, 2025, a solar flare could potentially lead to disruptions in energy and satellite infrastructure operations. This was announced by the Space Weather Prediction Center (SWPC) within the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) of the United States stated.

According to SWPC's statement, the solar storm could negatively affect electrical supply systems, satellite communications, and navigation signals. The risk of issues in controlling voltage levels in power transmission networks and short-term outages is particularly emphasized.

High levels of geomagnetic activity may persist on June 1 and 2. Forecasts suggest that the storm's impact is expected to decrease to G1 and G2 levels – moderate and mild levels starting from June 3.

Furthermore, experts have also noted the possibility of observing the aurora in geographically higher regions.
