A powerful magnetic storm enveloped the Earth on Tuesday, May 19. According to NOAA’s Space Weather Prediction Center, the level of geomagnetic activity reached a K-index of 5.3, which is considered a red-level storm.

This is evidenced by data from the Meteoagent service.

During such magnetic storms, weather-dependent people may experience headaches, fatigue, drowsiness, irritability, or mood swings. People with chronic diseases may also experience a worsening of their well-being.

However, the situation should improve on Wednesday, May 20. Experts predict a decrease in solar activity to a K-index of 2.3 — this is a weak level of geomagnetic oscillations.

Doctors and experts advise getting more rest, drinking enough water, avoiding stress and overwork on such days. It is also worth limiting alcohol, coffee, and heavy meals, and spending more time outdoors.
