Geographic Impact Patterns
The effects are felt the strongest near the North and South Poles. This happens because Earth’s magnetic field naturally directs the charged particles from these storms toward the polar regions through magnetic field lines. Areas at high latitudes, like northern Canada, Alaska, northern Europe, and Antarctica, experience the most intense effects. However, very strong geomagnetic storms can affect regions much closer to the equator. Places as far south as Florida might see auroras or experience technology disruptions.
