Geomagnetic Storms may Affect United States Power Supply in 2024
By Shubhendra Anand , 05 February, 2025
Geomagnetic storms in 2024 will affect America's power supply in the coming years. North America experiences geomagnetic storms, one after the other, within two months. The risk of geomagnetic storms is growing significantly due to increasing reliance on technologies. The tech sector is advancing gradually with artificial intelligence, machine learning, and others. Research indicates that geomagnetic storms can affect the American power supply in 2024.
A study shows that geomagnetic storms may devastate the United States capital, Washington DC, in 2024. The astronomical societies reported that Washington, DC, and Milwaukee are the worst-hit cities in the United States due to extreme space weather. Further, it shows that these cities of America will be vulnerable to geomagnetic storms in 2024. Experts claim that it is more difficult during the solar maximum period that will be over by the end of 2025. This affects many tech and industrial services, such as ground-based communications devices and power grids.
Further, this disruption affects the day-to-day applications in the United States. Power supply disruption is the primary reason for fear among researchers due to geomagnetic storms. Geomagnetic storms occur when solar winds and the earth's magnetic field align. The cities mentioned above are vulnerable to this phenomenon due to their high dependency on critical tech infrastructure and increasing population density.
The heavy reliance on advancing technologies is the driving factor of geomagnetic storms—the tech sector's advancement results in the growing dependency on the power grids. Therefore, cities like Washington and Milwaukee are the worst victims of geomagnetic storms. Some experts claim that climate change can be a reason behind geomagnetic storms. Hence, it is important to consider changing human activities to reduce such incidents.
