More from Lifehacker: “ If you’ve noticed that your backyard doesn’t seem to glow with the twinkle of fireflies as much as it used to, you’re right: It likely doesn’t. Weak and unstable fields are thought to precede magnetic reversals, so some have argued this feature may be evidence that we are facing one.” Between South America and southern Africa, there is an enigmatic magnetic region called the South Atlantic Anomaly, where the field is a lot weaker than we would expect. This is called a reversal and last happened 780,000 years ago. The field can even change polarity completely, with the magnetic north and south poles switching places. This field changes over time, and also behaves differently in different parts of the world. More from LiveScience: “ Deep inside the Earth, liquid iron is flowing and generating the Earth’s magnetic field, which protects our atmosphere and satellites against harmful radiation from the sun. While gradual weakening is expected to start Friday, this system could impact Hawaii as a strong tropical storm or Category 1 hurricane late this weekend.Īre Earth’s magnetic poles about to swap places? Strange anomaly gives clues. On average, the first hurricane of the season does not form until August 10.Douglas in the Pacific has strengthened into a major hurricane with wind speeds of 125 mph. Tropical Storm Gonzalo formed in the Atlantic on Wednesday and is on track to become the first hurricane of the 2020 season.Īccording to the National Hurricane Center, Tropical Storm Gonzalo will likely strengthen and become Hurricane Gonzalo by Thursday. The tropical depression will continue to move northwest before turning more west to make landfall sometime Saturday in Texas. It’s moving west-northwest at 9 miles per hour. Thursday, the system is about 425 miles east-southeast of Port O’Connor Texas with maximum sustained winds of 30 miles per hour. This system formed from the tropical wave that brought Florida several rounds of storms on Wednesday.Īs of 4 a.m. ![]() ( WFLA) – Tropical Depression Eight formed in the Gulf of Mexico late Wednesday and is forecast to continue strengthening into a tropical storm as it moves toward Texas.
