Geomagnetic storm to intensify Tuesday, may disrupt satellite, radio signals: CWA

Focus Taiwan | English | News | Dec. 10, 2025 | Critical Infrastructure Failure

A geomagnetic storm caused by solar activity is expected to intensify early Tuesday and last for approximately 39 hours, according to Taiwan's Central Weather Administration (CWA). The storm was triggered by a significant coronal mass ejection (CME) from the Sun on Sunday, which sharply increased solar wind speed and density in interplanetary space. This disturbance will affect near-Earth space starting early Tuesday.

The geomagnetic storm is predicted to reach a moderate intensity level briefly, potentially causing short-term disruptions to satellite navigation and both low- and high-frequency radio communications. Auroras may become visible at magnetic latitudes as low as 50 degrees.

Additional impacts could include false alarms from power system protective devices requiring voltage adjustments, electrical charge buildup on some satellite equipment, and increased atmospheric drag on low Earth orbit satellites, which may necessitate attitude corrections.
