On Thursday, the Earth was hit by a powerful magnetic storm: the K-index reached 7.3, which corresponds to the red danger level.

This is evidenced by data from Meteoagent and the British Geological Survey.

Last night, there was high solar activity: two X-class flares and one M-class flare were recorded, accompanied by coronal mass ejections. Some of these jets are likely to have already affected the Earth’s magnetic field.

A high-speed solar wind stream is expected to arrive from the coronal hole tomorrow, which could increase geomagnetic activity to the level of STORM G2.

Even moderate magnetic storms can affect people who are sensitive to weather changes. Experts advise avoiding stress, limiting physical activity, and maintaining a sleep schedule. It is also worth drinking enough water, choosing light meals, and temporarily giving up coffee and alcohol.
