According to meteorological studies found natural growth of air temperature, coincident in timing with the beginning of a geomagnetic storm. The data were analyzed according to the temperature of about one hundred meteorological stations. Based on this analysis, it was established phenomenon of short-term (30-60 min) growth of surface layer air temperature during the beginning of the magnetic storm, the detected azimuthal drift of the temperature gradient after the start of geomagnetic storms
